Cyprinodon diabolis is a critically endangered, extremely inbred extremophile that lives in low oxygen and near starvation conditions in 93° F water. There is a captive population of 400 in a reserve, but their population shrank to as little as 35 in the wild at times.
During the population bottlenecks they've faced, they've lost genes involved in hypoxia. Yet they still live in hypoxic conditions. How?
I’m slowly getting used to this format but at some point I’ll migrate over - need to find my friends 😅. I feel like I’ve wandered into a void
