The cavefish Phreatichthys andruzzii has lost the capacity to perform light-mediated DNA repair. This finding provides further support for the 'nocturnal bottleneck' hypothesis which posits that many key mammalian traits originated from adaptations linked to the nocturnal lifestyle of our early evolutionary ancestors.
洞穴鱼 Phreatichthys andruzzii 已经失去了进行光介导的 DNA 修复的能力。这一发现为“夜间瓶颈”假说提供了进一步的支持,该假说认为,许多关键的哺乳动物特征起源于与我们早期进化祖先的夜间生活方式相关的适应。
