Evidence for late Pleistocene origin of Astyanax mexicanus cavefish
Abstract Background Cavefish populations belonging to the Mexican tetra species Astyanax mexicanus are outstanding models to study the tempo and mode of adaptation to a radical environmental change. They are currently assigned to two main groups, the so-called “old” and “new” lineages, which would h...
