Adaptive shift of active electroreception in weakly electric fish for troglobitic life
The adaptive-shift hypothesis for the evolution of cave-dwelling species posits that ancestor species in surface habitats had exaptations for subterranean life that were exploited when individuals invaded caves. Weakly electric Gymnotiform fishes, nocturnal South American teleost fishes, have featur...
