This project investigates the evolutionary significance of vision in the Mexican blind cavefish by measuring the metabolic costs associated with having eyes. It aims to understand why vision regresses in dark environments through energy consumption analysis.
The evolution and regression of vision in animals has long interested scientists, and researchers have strived to identify the proximate (how did eyes evolve or regress?) and ultimate (why did eyes evolve or regress?) explanations for the appearance and disappearance of eyes.
This Marie Curie proposal will use the Mexican blind cavefish to test whether the metabolic cost of the eye has been a significant selective force in the evolution and regression of vision.
The Mexican blind cavefish is mod…
