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

Sexual reproduction is a diverse and widespread process. In gonochoristic species, the
differentiation of sexes occurs through diverse mechanisms, influenced by environmental …

Rineloricaria is the most diverse genus within the freshwater fish subfamily Loricariinae, and
it is widely distributed in the Neotropical region. Despite limited cytogenetic data, records …

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 …

The sex‐determining‐region (SDR) may offer the best prospects for studying sex‐
determining gene, recombination suppression, and chromosome heteromorphism …

Descriptions of karyotypes of many animal species are currently available. In addition, there
has been a significant increase in the number of sequenced genomes and an ever …

Mechanobiology helps us to decipher cell and tissue functions by looking at changes in their
mechanical properties that contribute to development, cell differentiation, physiology, and …

Natural selection in the cave habitat has resulted in unique phenotypic traits (including
pigmentation loss and ocular degeneration) in the Mexican tetra Astyanax mexicanus …

Large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea (Richardson) is an important member in family
Sciaenidae, and one of most productive mariculture fishes in China. Fluorescence in situ …

Simple Summary Bimodal karyotypes, including both large chromosomes and
