Chromosomal inversions have long fascinated evolutionary biologists due to their
suppression of recombination, which can protect co-adapted alleles. Emerging research …

Abstract Theory and empirical patterns suggest a disproportionate role for sex chromosomes
in evolution and speciation. Focusing on ZW sex determination (females ZW, males ZZ; the …

Chromosomal inversions are ubiquitous in genomes and often coordinate complex
phenotypes, such as the covariation of behavior and morphology in many birds, fishes …

Across hybrid zones, the sex chromosomes are often more strongly differentiated than the
autosomes. This is regularly attributed to the greater frequency of reproductive …

Sperm competition is an important selective force in many organisms. As a result, sperm
have evolved to be among the most diverse cells in the animal kingdom. However, the …

Organismal adaptations are the hallmark of natural selection. Studies of adaptations in avian
systems have been central to key conceptual and empirical advances in the field of …

Evolutionary dynamics of inversion and its impact on biochemical traits are a puzzling
question. Here, we show abundance of inversions in three Curcuma species (turmeric …

Supergenes are genetic architectures resulting in the segregation of alternative
combinations of alleles underlying complex phenotypes. The co‐segregation of alleles at …

Structural variants (SVs) are large rearrangements (> 50 bp) within the genome that impact
gene function and the content and structure of chromosomes. As a result, SVs are a …

Despite decades of research, our understanding of the underlying causes of within-
population variation in patterns of extra-pair paternity (EPP) remains limited. Previous …
