Genome sequencing has yielded a plethora of new genes the function of which can be
unravelled through comparative genomic approaches. Increasingly, developmental …

We review knowledge about the roles of sex chromosomes in vertebrate hybridization and
speciation, exploring a gradient of divergences with increasing reproductive isolation …

Teleosts comprise more than half of all vertebrate species and have adapted to a variety of
marine and freshwater habitats. Their genome evolution and diversification are important …

Molecular ecologists frequently use genome reduction strategies that rely upon restriction
enzyme digestion of genomic DNA to sample consistent portions of the genome from many …

This paper is aimed at underlining the limited knowledge available about the physiology of
triploid fishes compared with diploids. Whereas many aspects (induction, detection, growth …

This review deals with major areas of triploidy research in fish. It includes not only methods
for induction and detection of triploidy but also the impact of triploidy on morphology …

Ricefishes, known best by the model organism, the medaka, Oryzias latipes Temminck &
Schlegel, 1846, comprise the family Adrianichthyidae, which ranges broadly throughout …

Sturgeons are the most primitive, endangered groups of vertebrates on the planet and often
referred to as 'living fossils'. Their natural populations are decreasing due to habitat …

The mapping of Hox clusters and many duplicated genes in zebrafish indicated an extra
whole-genome duplication in ray-fined fish. However, to reconstruct the preduplication …

Understanding genome evolution of polyploids requires dissection of their often highly
similar subgenomes and haplotypes. Polyploid animal genome assemblies so far restricted …
