This project investigates the genetic mechanisms behind the evolutionary transition of organisms from surface to subterranean life, using the olm as a model. It aims to uncover the genomic changes associated with loss of vision and pigmentation in cave-dwelling species.
Understanding the causes of major changes of form and function of organisms is one of the big goals of evolutionary biology.
Dramatic phenotypic changes happen at the transition from the surface to a subterranean life.
They involve the loss of eyes and skin pigmentation, and augmentation of non-visual sensory organs.
In this project I will investigate the genetic mechanisms involved in this transition, using the olm (Proteus anguinus), the largest obligate cave inhabitant, as a model organism. T…
