Parallel adaptation to hypoxia in the blind Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus
Meeting Abstract 106-4 Monday, Jan. 6 14:15 – 14:30 Parallel adaptation to hypoxia in the blind Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus. BOGGS, TE*; FRIEDMAN, JS; GROSS, JB; University of Cincinnati boggste@mail.uc.edu Hypoxia is an important environmental pressure that likely drives novel adaptive solutions. To cope with this extreme condition, animals often evolve low-oxygen tolerance, or improve oxygen retrieval […]
