The evolution of eukaryotic genomes is accompanied by fluctuations in chromosome
number, reflecting cycles of chromosome number increase (polyploidy and centric fissions) …

The karyotype of most birds has remained considerably stable during more than 100 million
years' evolution, except for some groups, such as parrots. The evolutionary processes and …

Large‐scale chromosome rearrangements, such as fissions and fusions, are a common
feature of eukaryote evolution. They can have considerable influence on the evolution of …

Sex chromosomes vary greatly in their age and levels of differentiation across the tree of life.
This variation is largely due to the rates of sex chromosome turnover in different lineages; …

Chelidonichthys spinosus, a secondary economic fish, is increasingly being exploited and
valued in China. However, overfishing has led to it being recognized as one of the most …

Understanding the mechanisms leading to new traits or additional features in organisms is a
fundamental goal of evolutionary biology. We show that HOXDB regulatory changes have …

Cephonodes hylas, the coffee bee hawk moth is a hawk moth species with unique
characteristics, such as larvae feeding on gardenia, overcoming the toxicity of its iridoid …

Chromosomal inversions are often thought to facilitate local adaptation and population
divergence because they can link multiple adaptive alleles into non‐recombining genomic …

Abstract The Threespine Stickleback is ancestrally a marine fish, but many marine
populations breed in fresh water (ie, are anadromous), facilitating their colonization of …

A thorough understanding of adaptation and speciation requires model organisms with both
a history of ecological and phenotypic study as well as a complete set of genomic resources …
