Evolutionary convergence of a neural mechanism in the cavefish lateral line system

Elias T. Lunsford, Alexandra Paz, Alex C. Keene, James C. Liao

The paper investigates how neural mechanisms in the lateral line system of cavefish evolve, finding that blind cavefish have lower response thresholds and persistent afferent activity during locomotion due to efferent system regression.

Evolution of the acoustic startle response of Mexican cavefish

Alexandra Paz, Brittnee McDole, Johanna E. Kowalko, Erik R. Duboué, Alex C. Keene

The paper compares the C-start escape response in Mexican cavefish and surface fish, finding evolved differences in response probability and kinematics across populations.
