African mole rats as models for regressive evolution of the eye
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 152-166). === Darkness-adapted mammals with reduced eyes can serve as valuable models for the study of regressive evolution, as well as for research into the genetic and developmental processes underlying the "degeneration" of the eye. The aim of...
