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 ...

Astyanax surface and cave fish morphs

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2020
The small teleost fish Astyanax mexicanus has emerged as an outstanding model for studying many biological topics in the context of evolution. A major attribute is conspecific surface dwelling (surface fish) and blind cave dwelling (cavefish) morphs that

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 ...

Hypocretin underlies the evolution of sleep loss in the Mexican cavefish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The duration of sleep varies dramatically between species, yet little is known about the genetic basis or evolutionary factors driving this variation in behavior. The Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus, exists as surface populations that inhabit rivers,
