Chromosomal speciation revisited: rearranging theory with pieces of evidence
The suggestion that chromosomal rearrangements play a role in speciation resulted from the
observation that heterokaryotypes are often infertile. However, the first chromosomal …

Chromosomal speciation in the genomics era: disentangling phylogenetic evolution of rock-wallabies
The association of chromosome rearrangements (CRs) with speciation is well established,
and there is a long history of theory and evidence relating to “chromosomal speciation.” …

Recovering power in association mapping panels with variable levels of linkage disequilibrium
Association mapping has permitted the discovery of major QTL in many species. It can be
applied to existing populations and, as a consequence, it is generally necessary to take into …

Chromosomal rearrangements do not seem to affect the gene flow in hybrid zones between karyotypic races of the common shrew (Sorex araneus)
Chromosomal rearrangements are proposed to promote genetic differentiation between
chromosomally differentiated taxa and therefore promote speciation. Due to their remarkable …

Chromosomal rearrangements directly cause underdominant F1 pollen sterility in Mimulus lewisii–Mimulus cardinalis hybrids
Chromosomal rearrangements can contribute to the evolution of postzygotic reproductive
isolation directly, by disrupting meiosis in F1 hybrids, or indirectly, by suppressing …
