Genetic differentiation between cave and surface-dwelling populations of <it>Garra barreimiae </it>(Cyprinidae) in Oman
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Phenotypic similarities among cave-dwelling animals displaying troglomorphic characters (e.g. reduced eyes and lack of pigmentation) have induced a long-term discussion about the forces driving convergent evolution. Here we introduce...
