Quantitative trait loci associated with weight, length, and percentage weight change on a nutrient restricted diet in Astyanax mexicanus. A Location of markers (horizontal lines) on linkage group 13 indicating the peak position and bayes credible interval (box and whiskers) for QTL associated with the indicated trait. B, C Average weight (± 1SE) of adult F2 surface/Pachón hybrid females and males of the indicated peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele). D, E Average weight change as a percentage of total weight (+/1 1SE) of F2 surface/Pachón hybrids of the indicated linkage group 13 peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele, after 4 months on a nutrient restricted diet). F Location of markers (horizontal lines) on linkage group 19 and 25 indicating the peak position and bayes credible interval (box and whiskers) for QTL associated with the indicated trait. G, H Average standard length (± 1SE) of adult F2 surface/Pachón hybrid females and males of linkage group 19 peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele). I, J Average standard length (± 1SE) of adult F2 surface/Pachón hybrid females and males of linkage group 25 peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele)
