Enhanced prey capture skills in Astyanax cavefish larvae are independent from eye loss
BACKGROUND: Enhanced food-finding efficiency is an obvious adaptive response to cave environments. Here, we have compared the food-finding abilities of Astyanax surface fish and blind cavefish young larvae in their first month of life, in the dark. RESULTS: Our results show that enhanced prey captur...
