Abstract:
The Mexican tetra fish is found in rivers as well as in subterranean caves. Each cave population is the result of the colonization of a cave by a surface population, followed by about 200,000 years of isolated adaptation to life in a dark, food-scarce environment. Thus, the Mexican tetra provides a fascinating window into the evolution of animal displacement patterns in response to changes in sensory inputs and food availability. In this talk I will present results on the collective dynamics of groups of fish from surface and cave populations and discuss the implications of the observed inter-population differences on the way each population explores its environment.
