Sexual selection drives rapid phenotypic diversification of mating traits. However, we know
little about the causative genes underlying divergence in sexually selected traits. Here, we …

Environmental sex determination (ESD) occurs in divergent, phylogenetically unrelated taxa,
and in some species, co-occurs with genetic sex determination (GSD) mechanisms …

Sequential hermaphroditism is a unique reproductive strategy among teleosts that is
displayed mainly in fish species living in the coral reef environment. The reproductive …

Amur catfish is extensively distributed and cultured in Asian countries. Despite of economic
importance, the genomic information of this species remains limited. A reference …

Fishes provide a unique and intriguing model system for studying the genomic origin and
evolutionary mechanisms underlying sex determination and high sex-chromosome turnover …

Background Inversions and other structural polymorphisms often reduce the rate of
recombination between sex chromosomes, making it impossible to fine map sex …

Sexual dimorphism is a fascinating subject in evolutionary biology and mostly results from
sex-biased expression of genes, which have been shown to evolve faster in gonochoristic …

Males and females often differ in their fitness optima for shared traits that have a shared
genetic basis, leading to sexual conflict. Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes …

A major goal of evolutionary biology is to identify the genome-level targets of natural and
sexual selection. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, whole-genome selection …

A surprising diversity of mechanisms controls sex determination of vertebrate organisms,
even among closely related species. Both genetic and temperature-dependent systems of …
