[[Image:Mexican Tetra as Blind Cave Fish.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Mexican tetra in blind cave fish form]]
''A. mexicanus'' is famous for its blind {{tsl|en|Cavefish|}}, which is known by such names as '''blind cave tetra''', '''blind tetra''' (leading to easy confusion with the Brazilian ''<!-- [[Stygichthys typhlops]] -->[[盲眼冥脂鯉]]''), '''blind cave characin''' and '''blind cavefish'''. Depending on the exact population, cave forms can have degenerated <!-- [[visual perception|sight]] -->[[视知觉]] or have total loss of sight and even their <!-- [[eye]] -->[[眼]]s.

===Evolution research===
The surface and cave forms of the Mexican tetra have proven powerful subjects for scientists studying <!-- [[evolution]] -->[[演化]].<ref name="retaux" /> When the surface-dwelling ancestors of current cave populations entered the subterranean environment, the change in ecological conditions rendered their <!-- [[phenotype]] -->[[表型]]—which included many biological functions dependent on the presence of light—subject to <!-- [[natural selection]] -->[[自然选择]] and <!-- [[genetic drift]] -->[[遗传漂变]].<ref name="soares" /><ref name="wilkens">{{cite journal|last=Wilkens|first=H|title=Genes, modules and the evolution of cave fish|journal=Heredity|date=November 2012|volume=105|issue=5|pages=413–422|doi=10.1038/hdy.2009.184|pmid=20068586}}</ref> One of the most striking changes to evolve was the loss of eyes. This is referred to as a "regressive trait" because the surface fish that originally colonized caves possessed eyes.<ref name="retaux" /> In addition to regressive traits, cave forms evolved "constructive traits". In contrast to regressive traits, the purpose or benefit of constructive traits is generally accepted.<ref name="soares" /> Active research focuses on the mechanisms driving the evolution of regressive traits, such as the loss of eyes, in ''A. mexicanus''. Recent studies have produced evidence that the mechanism may be direct selection,<ref name="Goss08">{{cite journal|last=Protas|first=M|author2=Tabansky, I.|author3= Conrad, M.|author4= Gross, J. B. |author5=Vidal, O.|author6= Tabin, C. J. |author7=Borowsky, R.|title=Multi-trait evolution in a cave fish, ''Astyanax mexicanus''|journal=Evolution & Development|date= April 2008|volume=10|issue=2|pages=196–209|doi=10.1111/j.1525-142x.2008.00227.x|pmid=18315813}}</ref> or indirect selection through {{tsl|en|Antagonistic pleiotropy hypothesis|}},<ref>{{cite journal|last=Jeffery|first=WR|title=Regressive Evolution in Astyanax Cavefish|journal=Annual Review of Genetics|year=2009|volume=43|pages=25–47|doi=10.1146/annurev-genet-102108-134216|pmc=3594788|pmid=19640230}}</ref> rather than genetic drift and neutral mutation, the traditionally favored hypothesis for regressive evolution.<ref name="wilkens" />

The blind form of the Mexican tetra is different from the surface-dwelling form in a number of ways, including having unpigmented skin, having a better <!-- [[olfaction|olfactory]] -->[[嗅觉]] sense by having <!-- [[taste bud]] -->[[味蕾]]s all over its head, and by being able to store four times more energy as fat, allowing it to deal with irregular food supplies more effectively.<ref>Helfman G., Collette B., & Facey D.: The Diversity of Fishes, Blackwell Publishing, p 315, 1997, {{ISBN|0-86542-256-7}}</ref>

Darwin said of sightless fish:{{Quote|By the time that an animal had reached, after numberless generations, the deepest recesses, disuse will on this view have more or less perfectly obliterated its eyes, and natural selection will often have affected other changes, such as an increase in the length of antennae or palpi, as compensation for blindness.|Charles Darwin|Origin of Species (1859)}}

Modern genetics has made clear that the lack of use does not, in itself, necessitate a feature's disappearance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1134/is_5_114/ai_n13811128 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2007-02-13 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060515160857/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1134/is_5_114/ai_n13811128 |archivedate=2006-05-15 |df= }}</ref> In this context, the positive genetic benefits have to be considered, i.e., what advantages are obtained by cave-dwelling tetras by losing their eyes? Possible explanations include:
*Not developing eyes allows the individual more energy for growth and reproduction. However the species does use other methods to locate food and detect danger, which also consume energy that would be conserved if it had eyes or transparent eyelids.
*There remains less chance of accidental damage and infection, since the previously useless and exposed organ is sealed with a flap of protective skin. It is unknown why this species did not develop transparent skin or eyelids instead, as some species of reptiles did.
*The lack of eyes disables the "body clock", which is controlled by periods of light and dark, conserving energy. However sunlight does have minimal impact on the "body clock" in caves.{{cn|date=April 2018}}

Another likely explanation for the loss of its eyes is that of selective neutrality and genetic drift; in the dark environment of the cave, the eyes are neither advantageous nor disadvantageous and thus any genetic factors that might impair the eyes (or their development) can take hold with no consequence on the individual or species. Because there is no selection pressure for sight in this environment, any number of genetic abnormalities that give rise to the damage or loss of eyes could proliferate among the population with no effect on the fitness of the population.

Among some <!-- [[creation-evolution controversy|creationists]] -->[[创造论与科学]], the cave tetra is seen as evidence 'against' evolution. One argument claims this is an instance of "{{tsl|en|Biological devolution|}}"—showing an evolutionary trend of decreasing complexity. But evolution is a non-directional process, and while increased complexity is a common effect, there is no reason why evolution cannot tend towards simplicity if that makes an organism better suited to its environment.<ref>Dawkins, R.: Climbing Mount Improbable, W. W. Norton & Co, 1997, {{ISBN|0-393-31682-3}}</ref>

Inhibition of the {{tsl|en|Hsp90|}} has a dramatic effect in the development of the blind tetra.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Rohner|first1=N.|last2=Jarosz|first2=D. F.|last3=Kowalko|first3=J.

===In the aquarium===
The blind cave tetras seen in the <!-- [[aquarium]] -->[[水族箱]] trade are all based on stock collected in the Cueva Chica Cave in the southern part of the Sierra del Abra system in 1936.<ref name=Keene2016/> These were sent to an aquarium company in Texas, who soon started to distribute them to aquarists. Since then, these have been <!-- [[selectively bred]] -->[[人工選擇]] for their {{tsl|en|troglomorphic|}} traits.<ref name=Keene2016/> Today large numbers are bred at commercial facilities, especially in Asia.<ref name=seriouslyfish/>

The blind cave tetra is a hardy species.<ref name=Keene2016/> Their lack of sight does not hinder their ability to get food. They prefer subdued lighting with a rocky substrate, like gravel, mimicking their natural environment. They become semi-aggressive as they age, and are by nature schooling fish.{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}} Experiments have shown that keeping these fish in bright aquarium set-ups has no effect on the development of the skin flap that forms over their eyes as they grow.

墨西哥麗脂鯉(學名:Astyanax mexicanus)為輻鰭魚綱脂鯉目脂鯉亞目脂鯉科的其中一個物種,為熱帶淡水[3][4],也是麗脂鯉屬模式種。本物種是新北界生物地理分布区特有種,分佈於北美洲格蘭特河Nueces River英语Nueces River的下游、德克萨斯州佩科斯河墨西哥東部與中部的淡水流域[3]

成長後本物種的體長可達12公分, the Mexican tetra is of typical characin shape, with unremarkable, drab coloration[3]。棲息在沙石底質的溪流,以昆蟲甲殼類蠕蟲為食,生活習性不明,可作為觀賞魚。

Its Blind fish英语Blind fish cave form, however, is notable for having no eyes or pigment; it has a pinkish-white color to its body (resembling an 白化症).[5]

This fish, especially the blind variant, is reasonably popular among 水族饲养s.[6]

A. mexicanus is a peaceful species that spends most of its time in midlevel water above the rocky and sandy bottoms of pools and backwaters of creeks and rivers of its native environment. Coming from a 亚热带 climate, it prefers water with 6.5–8 PH值, a 硬水 of up to 30 dGH英语dGH, and a temperature range of 20至25 °C(68至77 °F). In the winter, some populations migrates to warmer waters. Its natural diet consists of 甲殼亞門s, 昆虫s, and 环节动物门s, although in captivity it is 雜食動物.[7][6]

The Mexican tetra has been treated as a subspecies of A. fasciatus, but this is not widely accepted.[7] Additionally, the blind cave form is sometimes recognized as a separate species, 盲鱼, but this directly contradicts 系统发生学 evidence.[5][8][9][10][11][12]

Blind cave form

Mexican tetra in blind cave fish form

A. mexicanus is famous for its blind Cavefish英语Cavefish, which is known by such names as blind cave tetra, blind tetra (leading to easy confusion with the Brazilian 盲眼冥脂鯉), blind cave characin and blind cavefish. Depending on the exact population, cave forms can have degenerated 视知觉 or have total loss of sight and even their s. The fish in the Pachón caves have lost their eyes completely whilst the fish from the Micos cave only have limited sight.[13] Cave fish and surface fish are able to produce fertile offspring.[13]

These fish can still, however, find their way around by means of their 体侧线s, which are highly sensitive to fluctuating 压强.[14] Currently, about 30 cave populations are known, dispersed over three geographically distinct areas in a 喀斯特地形 region of 聖路易斯波托西州 and far southern 塔毛利帕斯州, northeastern Mexico.[8][15][16] Among the various cave population are at least three with only full cave forms (blind and without pigment), at least eleven with cave, "normal" and intermediate forms, and at least one with both cave and "normal" forms but no intermediates.[15] Studies suggest at least two distinct genetic Lineage (evolution)英语Lineage (evolution) occur among the blind populations, and the current distribution of populations arose by at least five independent invasions.[8]

The eyed and eyeless forms of A. mexicanus, being members of the same species, are closely related and can interbreed[17] making this species an excellent 模式生物 for examining 趋同演化 and 平行演化, regressive evolution in cave animals, and the genetic basis of regressive traits.[18] This, combined with the ease of maintaining the species in captivity, has made it the most studied cavefish and likely also the most studied List of troglobites英语List of troglobites overall.[15]

The blind and colorless cave form of A. mexicanus is sometimes recognized as a separate species, 盲鱼, but this leaves the remaining A. mexicanus as a 並系群 species and A. jordani as 多系群.[5][8][9][10][11][12] The Cueva Chica Cave in the southern part of the Sierra del Abra system is the Type locality (biology)英语Type locality (biology) for A. jordani.[5] Other blind populations were initially also recognized as separate species, including antrobius described in 1946 from the Pachón Cave and hubbsi described in 1947 from the Los Sabinos Cave (both subsequently merged into jordani/mexicanus).[5] The most Genetic divergence英语Genetic divergence cave population is the one in Los Sabinos.[5][19]

Another cave-adapted population of Astyanax, varying from blind and depigmented to individuals showing intermediate features, is known from the Granadas Cave, part of the 巴爾薩斯河 drainage in 格雷羅州, southern Mexico, but it is a part of A. aeneus (itself sometimes included in A. mexicanus).[5][16][20]

Evolution research

The surface and cave forms of the Mexican tetra have proven powerful subjects for scientists studying 演化.[17] When the surface-dwelling ancestors of current cave populations entered the subterranean environment, the change in ecological conditions rendered their 表型—which included many biological functions dependent on the presence of light—subject to 自然选择 and 遗传漂变.[18][21] One of the most striking changes to evolve was the loss of eyes. This is referred to as a "regressive trait" because the surface fish that originally colonized caves possessed eyes.[17] In addition to regressive traits, cave forms evolved "constructive traits". In contrast to regressive traits, the purpose or benefit of constructive traits is generally accepted.[18] Active research focuses on the mechanisms driving the evolution of regressive traits, such as the loss of eyes, in A. mexicanus. Recent studies have produced evidence that the mechanism may be direct selection,[22] or indirect selection through Antagonistic pleiotropy hypothesis英语Antagonistic pleiotropy hypothesis,[23] rather than genetic drift and neutral mutation, the traditionally favored hypothesis for regressive evolution.[21]

The blind form of the Mexican tetra is different from the surface-dwelling form in a number of ways, including having unpigmented skin, having a better 嗅觉 sense by having 味蕾s all over its head, and by being able to store four times more energy as fat, allowing it to deal with irregular food supplies more effectively.[24]

Darwin said of sightless fish:

By the time that an animal had reached, after numberless generations, the deepest recesses, disuse will on this view have more or less perfectly obliterated its eyes, and natural selection will often have affected other changes, such as an increase in the length of antennae or palpi, as compensation for blindness.

——Charles Darwin,Origin of Species (1859)

Modern genetics has made clear that the lack of use does not, in itself, necessitate a feature's disappearance.[25] In this context, the positive genetic benefits have to be considered, i.e., what advantages are obtained by cave-dwelling tetras by losing their eyes? Possible explanations include:

  • Not developing eyes allows the individual more energy for growth and reproduction. However the species does use other methods to locate food and detect danger, which also consume energy that would be conserved if it had eyes or transparent eyelids.
  • There remains less chance of accidental damage and infection, since the previously useless and exposed organ is sealed with a flap of protective skin. It is unknown why this species did not develop transparent skin or eyelids instead, as some species of reptiles did.
  • The lack of eyes disables the "body clock", which is controlled by periods of light and dark, conserving energy. However sunlight does have minimal impact on the "body clock" in caves.[來源請求]

Another likely explanation for the loss of its eyes is that of selective neutrality and genetic drift; in the dark environment of the cave, the eyes are neither advantageous nor disadvantageous and thus any genetic factors that might impair the eyes (or their development) can take hold with no consequence on the individual or species. Because there is no selection pressure for sight in this environment, any number of genetic abnormalities that give rise to the damage or loss of eyes could proliferate among the population with no effect on the fitness of the population.

Among some 创造论与科学, the cave tetra is seen as evidence 'against' evolution. One argument claims this is an instance of "Biological devolution英语Biological devolution"—showing an evolutionary trend of decreasing complexity. But evolution is a non-directional process, and while increased complexity is a common effect, there is no reason why evolution cannot tend towards simplicity if that makes an organism better suited to its environment.[26]

Inhibition of the Hsp90英语Hsp90 has a dramatic effect in the development of the blind tetra.[27]

In the aquarium

The blind cave tetras seen in the 水族箱 trade are all based on stock collected in the Cueva Chica Cave in the southern part of the Sierra del Abra system in 1936.[5] These were sent to an aquarium company in Texas, who soon started to distribute them to aquarists. Since then, these have been 人工選擇 for their troglomorphic英语troglomorphic traits.[5] Today large numbers are bred at commercial facilities, especially in Asia.[6]

The blind cave tetra is a hardy species.[5] Their lack of sight does not hinder their ability to get food. They prefer subdued lighting with a rocky substrate, like gravel, mimicking their natural environment. They become semi-aggressive as they age, and are by nature schooling fish.[來源請求] Experiments have shown that keeping these fish in bright aquarium set-ups has no effect on the development of the skin flap that forms over their eyes as they grow.
