Gene loss and relaxed selection of plaat1 in vertebrates adapted to low-light environments

D. Drabeck, J. Wiese, E. Gilbertson, J. Arroyave, D. Arcila, S. E. Alter, R. Borowsky, D. Hendrickson, M. L. Stiassny, S. E. McGaugh

The paper examines the evolutionary loss and degradation of plaat1 in vertebrates adapted to low-light environments, showing its role in visual acuity and its loss through relaxed selection.

The role of gene flow in rapid and repeated evolution of cave related traits in Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus

A. Herman, Y. Brandvain, J. Weagley, W. R. Jeffery, A. C. Keene, T. J. Y. Kono, H. Bilandzija, R. Borowsky, L. Espinasa, K. O'Quin, C. P. Ornelas-Garcia, M. Yoshizawa, B. Carlson, E. Maldonado, J. B. Gross, , S. E. McGaugh

This study shows that gene flow plays a significant role in the rapid evolution of cave-related traits in Mexican tetra, challenging the classic hypothesis of disuse and drift.

Insulin resistance in cavefish as an adaptation to a nutrient-limited environment

A. Aspiras, M. Riddle, K. Gaudenz, R. Peuss, J. Sung, B. Martineau, M. Peavey, A. Box, J. A. Tabin, S. McGaugh, R. Borowsky, C. J. Tabin, N. Rohner

This study shows cavefish have insulin resistance due to a mutation in the insulin receptor, which may confer advantages in nutrient-limited environments despite negative effects seen in humans.
