Subterranean mammals show convergent regression in ocular genes and enhancers, along with adaptation to tunneling
The underground environment imposes unique demands on life that have led subterranean species to evolve specialized traits, many of which evolved convergently. We studied convergence in evolutionary rate in subterranean mammals in order to associate phenotypic evolution with specific genetic regions...
