Article Synopsis
- The study examines how recent colonization of extreme environments affects the adaptation of Mexican tetras, focusing on their morphological and behavioral traits.
- It highlights the distinction between traits influenced by environmental plasticity and those with a genetic basis, revealing that many trait differences are due to changes in the rearing environment.
- Notable findings include the rapid divergence in wall-following behavior, vital for subterranean foraging, indicating potential for both rapid evolutionary changes and the role of exploratory behavior in successful colonization.
