Whole genome duplication (leading to polyploidy) is widely accepted as an important
evolutionary force in plants, but it is less recognized as a driver of animal diversification …

DNA replication during cell proliferation is 'vertical'copying, which reproduces an initial
amount of genetic information. Polyploidy, which results from whole-genome duplication, is …

Does the inheritance of acquired characteristics play a significant role in evolution? In this
book, Eva Jablonka and Marion J. Lamb attempt to answer that question with an original …

Понимание того, что биологическое разнообразие является составной частью и
основным условием сбалансированного развития человечества, привело к широкому …

Although polyploidy has been involved in speciation in both animals and plants, the general
perception is often that it is too rare to have been a significant factor in animal evolution and …

The radiation of Palearctic green toads (Bufotes) holds great potential to evaluate the role of
hybridization in phylogeography at multiple stages along the speciation continuum. With …

Taxa involving three bisexually reproducing ploidy levels make green toads a unique
amphibian system. We put a cytogenetic dataset from Central Asia in a molecular framework …

Genome size and GC‐percent were determined by means of a special method of DNA flow
cytometry in 154 vertebrate species. For the total dataset, a highly significant positive …

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 …

Abstract The Iberian minnow Leuciscus alburnoides represents a complex of diploid and
polyploid forms with altered modes of reproduction. In the present paper, we review the …
