Roback E, Ferrufino E, Moran R, Shennard D, Mulliniks C, Gallop J, et al.
Mol Biol Evol . 2025 Jan; 42(2). PMID: 39833658
Loss-of-function alleles are a pertinent source of genetic variation with the potential to contribute to adaptation. Cave-adapted organisms exhibit striking loss of ancestral traits such as eyes and pigment, suggesting...

Mack K, Jaggard J, Persons J, Roback E, Passow C, Stanhope B, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2021 Jul; 17(7):e1009642. PMID: 34252077
Circadian rhythms are nearly ubiquitous throughout nature, suggesting they are critical for survival in diverse environments. Organisms inhabiting largely arrhythmic environments, such as caves, offer a unique opportunity to study...

Warren W, Boggs T, Borowsky R, Carlson B, Ferrufino E, Gross J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2021 Mar; 12(1):1447. PMID: 33664263
Identifying the genetic factors that underlie complex traits is central to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of evolution. Cave-dwelling Astyanax mexicanus populations are well adapted to subterranean life and many populations...

Sifuentes-Romero I, Ferrufino E, Thakur S, Laboissonniere L, Solomon M, Smith C, et al.
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol . 2020 Jul; 334(7-8):423-437. PMID: 32614138
Evolution in similar environments often leads to convergence of behavioral and anatomical traits. A classic example of convergent trait evolution is the reduced traits that characterize many cave animals: reduction...
