Cave evolution on repeat: reuse of the same genomic regions across lineages but not across traits in Astyanax mexicanus

Emilie J. Richards, Rachel L. Moran, Jonathan Wiese…·Suzanne E. McGaugh

The paper investigates genetic repeatability in cavefish traits using QTL mapping, finding shared genomic regions for eye loss but less repeatability for sleep and metabolic traits.

Loci associated with cave-derived traits concentrate in specific regions of the Mexican cavefish genome

Jonathan Wiese, Emilie J. Richards, Johanna E. Kowalko, Suzanne E. McGaugh

The paper maps QTL for cave-derived traits in Mexican cavefish and identifies evolutionary hotspots associated with adaptation to the cave environment.

Gene loss and relaxed selection of plaat1 in vertebrates adapted to low-light environments

Danielle H. Drabeck, Jonathan Wiese, Erin N. Gilbertson…·Suzanne E. McGaugh

The paper examines the evolutionary loss and degradation of plaat1 in vertebrates adapted to low-light environments, showing its role in visual acuity and its loss through relaxed selection.
