Threatening the global community is a wide variety of potential threats, most notably
invasive pest species. Invasive pest species are non-native organisms that humans have …

Intrinsic postzygotic isolation typically appears as reduced viability or fertility of interspecific
hybrids caused by genetic incompatibilities between diverged parental genomes …

Until recently, the field of sex chromosome evolution has been dominated by the canonical
unidirectional scenario, first developed by Muller in 1918. This model postulates that sex …

Genome stability is a crucial feature of eukaryotic organisms because its alteration
drastically affects the normal development and survival of cells and the organism as a …

As reflected by the two rules of speciation (Haldane's rule and the large X-/Z-effect), sex
chromosomes are expected to behave like supergenes of speciation: they recombine only in …

Unisexual animals are commonly found in some polyploid species complexes, and most of
these species have had a long evolutionary history. However, their method for avoiding …

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

Lizards represent unique model organisms in the study of sex determination and sex
chromosome evolution. Among tetrapods, they are characterized by an unparalleled …

An accurate species‐level taxonomy is paramount for biogeographical research, and
conversely, biogeographical data are of importance for species delimitation. We here review …

Wildlife exhibits various sex-determination systems where sex chromosomes and
environmental temperatures may both contribute to individual sexual development. The …
