Achiasmy is a phenomenon whereby chiasma (“chromosomal cross–over”) formation is
absent during meiosis in one or both sexes. It is one of the strategies that have evolved to …

Background Holocentric chromosomes occur in approximately 750 species of eukaryotes.
Among them, the genus Tityus (Scorpiones, Buthidae) has a labile karyotype that shows …

In this study, we investigated the mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of 11 Buthidae scorpion
species, belonging to three genera (Ananteris, Rhopalurus and Tityus), to obtain detailed …

Recent cytogenetic and genomic studies suggest that morphological and molecular
evolution is decoupled in the basal arachnid order Scorpiones. Extraordinary karyotype …

Mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of Tityus bahiensis were investigated using light (LM) and
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine the chromosomal characteristics and …

All cytogenetically studied scorpions present male achiasmatic meiosis and lack
heteromorphic sex chromosomes. In contrast, information about female meiosis in scorpions …

Buthid scorpions exhibit a high variability in diploid number within genera and even within
species. Cytogenetically, Buthidae differs from other families of Scorpiones based on its low …

Seven species were collected from several habitats in the West Bank, namely Leiurus
quinquestriatus, Androctonus crassicauda, Compsobuthus werneri, Orthochirus …

Čeleď Scorpionidae představuje čeleď štírů, která zahrnuje velikostně největší druhy v rámci
celého řádu štíři (Scorpiones). V současné chvíli probíhá intenzivní revize celé této skupiny …

The karyotypes of Leiurus abdullahbayrami Yağmur, Koç & Kunt, 2009 and Compsobuthus
matthiesseni (Birula, 1905) from Turkey are presented for the first time. Both analyzed …
