Evolution &Development, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 137-152, March 2023., 2023 An orange eye phenotype, hidden within cave populations (masked by absence of pigment), was uncovered through crossing cave populations with surface populations. A similar orange eye phenotype can be found within surface populations suggesting that orange alleles within the cave populations originated from standing variation in the founding surface ...
