Enhanced prey capture skills in Astyanax cavefish larvae are independent from eye loss
(Springer Nature, 2014-10-03)
Enhanced food-finding efficiency is an obvious adaptive response to cave environments. Here, we have compared the food-finding abilities of Astyanax surface fish and blind cavefish young larvae in their first month of life, ...
