The organization of genomes into chromosomes is critical for processes such as genetic
recombination, environmental adaptation, and speciation. All animals with bilateral …

Recombination is a key molecular mechanism that has profound implications on both micro-
and macroevolutionary processes. However, the determinants of recombination rate …

Large‐scale chromosome rearrangements, such as fissions and fusions, are a common
feature of eukaryote evolution. They can have considerable influence on the evolution of …

The proportions of A: T and G: C nucleotide pairs are often unequal and can vary greatly
between animal species and along chromosomes. The causes and consequences of this …

Species frequently differ in the number and structure of chromosomes they harbor, but
individuals that are heterozygous for chromosomal rearrangements may suffer from reduced …

The faster-Z/X hypothesis predicts that sex-linked genes should diverge faster than
autosomal genes. However, studies across different lineages have shown mixed support for …

Chromosome rearrangements shape the structure of the genome and influence evolutionary
processes. Inferring ancestral chromosomes and rearrangements across a phylogenetic tree …

Genetic linkage maps are valuable resources for investigating chromosomal structure,
quantifying karyotype, estimating recombination rates, and improving preexisting genome …

Large-scale chromosome rearrangements, such as fissions and fusions, are a common
feature of eukaryote evolution. They can have considerable influence on the evolution of …

New species are formed either by the splitting of a lineage in two or through hybridization of
divergent lineages. Using genetics to understand the origin and persistence of species is a …
