Evolution: convergent eye losses in fishy circumstances.

Jeremy E Niven1.   

Abstract

Eye loss has occurred independently several times in Mexican cavefish. A new study shows that some aspects of vision can be restored by crossing cavefish from different populations, suggesting that changes at multiple loci contribute to eye loss.
