times independently and display a truly remarkable diversity. New sequencing technologies …

Differentiated X chromosomes are expected to have higher rates of adaptive divergence
than autosomes, if new beneficial mutations are recessive (the “faster-X effect”), largely …

Background Schistosoma mansoni is a flatworm that causes a neglected tropical disease
affecting millions worldwide. Most flatworms are hermaphrodites but schistosomes have …

Many species with separate male and female individuals (termed 'gonochorism'in animals)
