Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 11, Page 5911-5926, June 2021., 2021 We discuss best practices and novel ideas for performing standardized research in subterranean ecosystems, by focusing on key impediments, experimental ideas, and model systems. Abstract Caves and other subterranean habitats fulfill the requirements of experimental model systems to address general questions in ecology and evolution.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 24, Page 14256-14271, December 2020., 2020 We conducted a comparative histology and comparative transcriptomics study on the skin of eight Sinocyclocheilus species, including four surface and four cavefish species. The result suggests that these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) may be responsible for pigmentation loss in the Sinocyclocheilus cavefish species. Abstract Cave‐dwelling animals
