Characterization of Mitochondrial Genomes and Evolutionary Relationships in Two Moenkhausia (Characiformes: Acestrorhamphidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study successfully decoded the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Moenkhausia species, with total lengths of 16,439 and 16,461 bp, respectively. This study enhances genomic resources for Acestrorhamphidae and provides a foundation for investigating evolutionary mechanisms and developing molecular markers.

Water Parameters and Hydrodynamics in Rivers and Caves Hosting Astyanax mexicanus Populations Reveal Macro‐, Meso‐ and Microhabitat Characteristics [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.From 2009 to 2025, we have recorded the physicochemical parameters of the water and the hydrological regimes at localities hosting Astyanax mexicanus cavefish and surface fish populations in Mexico. Sampling 13 caves and 30 surface stations revealed strong signatures of the two macrohabitats, but also significant differences in specific water ...

Antioxidant Defenses in the Kidneys and Heart of the Freshwater Fish Astyanax lacustris Subjected to High (31°C) and Low (15°C) Temperatures [PDF]
Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 43, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have their abiotic and biotic factors constantly altered by various factors. Among them, water temperature is an abiotic factor that can significantly affect fish physiology, increasing energy demand, which can impact homeostasis and survival. Endocrine and metabolic changes and enzymatic modulation are referred to as stress

A new cave population of Astyanax mexicanus from Northern Sierra de El Abra, Tamaulipas, Mexico
Subterranean Biology, 2023 The Astyanax genus represents an extraordinary example of phenotypic evolution, being their most extreme examples the blind and depigmented morphs, which have evolved from independent surface-dwelling lineages.

The Mexican Tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, as a Model System in Cell and Developmental Biology.
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Our understanding of cell and developmental biology has been greatly aided by a focus on a small number of model organisms. However, we are now in an era where techniques to investigate gene function can be applied across phyla, allowing scientists to ...
