Correlation between the phenotype and genotypic score in Sótano del Toro. The phenotype score of an individual was defined as the ratio ‘eye diameter / standard length’. The genotype score was the sum of pLoF mutations. For each pLoF mutations, a score of 2 corresponds to a homozygous individual for the pLoF mutation, 1 correspond to a heterozygous individual and 0 correspond to a homozygous individual for the surface (non-mutated) allele. When different individuals had the exact same phenotype and genotype scores, we added the number of individuals in the corresponding dot. Thus, five individuals had a phenotype score of 0 and a genotype score of 5. Seven individuals had a phenotype score of 0 and a genotype score of 6, and six individuals had a phenotype score of 0 and a genotype score of 7
