EVOLUTION OF THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENT: LESSONS FROM CAVEFISH. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Evolution has been strongly influenced by the daily cycles of temperature and light imposed by the rotation of the Earth. Fascinating demonstrations of this are seen in extreme environments such as caves where some animals have remained completely ...

A Dietary Blend of Synbiotic and Organic Acids has been Demonstrated to be Beneficial for Nile Tilapia Fingerlings

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Zootechnical additives are widely used in animal diets to enhance health and performance throughout different production stages. This study evaluated the effects of a blend of synbiotic and organic acids on Nile tilapia fingerlings. The investigation assessed growth performance, enzyme activity, proximate composition, and tissue histology.

Progress and Prospects of Research on Microhabitat Scale Characterization and Utilization in Chinese Karst Area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Karst regions exhibit ecologically fragile environments but host a rich diversity of microhabitats across spatial scales. Vegetation productivity and carbon sequestration patterns are intricately governed by subterranean microhabitat conditions. Microhabitat‐based technologies demonstrate transformative potential in reconciling human livelihoods with ...

A mutation in monoamine oxidase (MAO) affects the evolution of stress behavior in the blind cavefish Astyanax mexicanus

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2020
The neurotransmitter serotonin controls a variety of physiological and behavioral processes. In humans, mutations affecting monoamine oxidase (MAO), the serotonin-degrading enzyme, are highly deleterious.

Brain Transcriptomics Reveals Molecular Mechanisms of Cave Adaptation in Triplophysa Loaches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study compares brain transcriptomes of cave (Triplophysa shilinensis) and surface‐dwelling (T. xiangshuingensis) loaches to uncover molecular adaptations to subterranean life. We identified widespread gene down‐regulation in the cave ecotype, with enriched pathways in energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, sensory perception, and body coloration ...

From Genomic Fossils to Functional Elements: The Evolving Story of Pseudogenes

open access: yesAdvanced Genetics, Volume 6, Issue 4, December 2025.
This review begins with an introduction, summarizing the research background in pseudogene studies. It then contains three aspects: identification of pseudogenes, detailing their classification and features in metazoan genomes; functional pseudogenes, introducing their reactivation and regulation mechanisms; and pseudogenes’ contribution to species ...

Diversity of Olfactory Responses and Skills in Astyanax Mexicanus Cavefish Populations Inhabiting different Caves

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Animals in many phyla are adapted to and thrive in the constant darkness of subterranean environments. To do so, cave animals have presumably evolved mechano- and chemosensory compensations to the loss of vision, as is the case for the blind characiform ...

Variación morfológica de las especies de Astyanax, subgénero Zygogaster (Teleostei, Characidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Morphological variation of Astyanax species, subgenus Zygogaster (Teleostei, Characidae) The diverse Neotropical fish genus Astyanax inhabits a variety of aquatic environments. As with other species in this genus, the taxonomic status and phylogenetic
