A pleiotropic interaction between vision loss and hypermelanism in Astyanax mexicanus cave x surface hybrids
BACKGROUND: Cave-dwelling animals evolve various traits as a consequence of life in darkness. Constructive traits (e.g., enhanced non-visual sensory systems) presumably arise under strong selective pressures. The mechanism(s) driving regression of features, however, are not well understood.
