We estimated genetic diversity in cave (hypogean) and surface (epigean) populations of the Mexican Tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, using RAPDs and microsatellites. By either measure, genetic diversity was significantly lower in hypogean than in epigean populations, although there was considerable variability in both classes. We examined three factors po...
