2 Figure 1 Map of North-Eastern Mexico indicating locations of the cave populations studied. Molino and Pachón are 53 km distant and located in different drainages. Pachón and Tinaja are over 60 km distant and also in different drainages, while the Tinaja and Curva caves are only 12 km distant and in the same drainage.

3 Figure 2 Eye restoration in Astyanax.
Cave, intercave F1 hybrids, and surface Astyanax mexicanus fry illustrating relative eye sizes. The Pachón individual is albino and its eye size is indicated by the paired pipe marks in the top panel. Intercave hybrids have larger eyes than pure cave fish but significantly smaller eyes than surface fish. Current Biology  , R23-R24DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions
