Evolution in Sinocyclocheilus cavefish is marked by rate shifts, reversals, and origin of novel traits

Abstract Background Natural model systems are indispensable for exploring adaptations in response to environmental pressures. Sinocyclocheilus of China, the most diverse cavefish clade in the world (75 species), provide unique opportunities to understand recurrent evolution of stereotypic traits (su...
