Empirical data suggest that inversions in many species contain genes important for
intraspecific divergence and speciation, yet mechanisms of evolution remain unclear. While …

Inversions are structural mutations that reverse the sequence of a chromosome segment
and reduce the effective rate of recombination in the heterozygous state. They play a major …

Many organisms have sex chromosomes with large nonrecombining regions that have
expanded stepwise, generating “evolutionary strata” of differentiation. The reasons for this …

Chromosomal inversions have long been recognized for their role in local adaptation. By
suppressing recombination in heterozygous individuals, they can maintain coadapted gene …

Chromosomal inversions contribute substantially to genome evolution, yet the processes
governing their evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood. Theory suggests that a …

Chromosomal inversions, structural mutations that reverse a segment of a chromosome,
cause suppression of recombination in the heterozygous state. Several studies have shown …

Supergenes are genetic architectures resulting in the segregation of alternative
combinations of alleles underlying complex phenotypes. The co‐segregation of alleles at …

Sex determination is a key developmental process, yet it is remarkably variable across the
tree of life. The dipteran family Sciaridae exhibits one of the most unusual sex determination …

Simple Summary Fishes represent a useful model for evolutionary studies, given their
diversity of species and habitats. In this study, we investigate the chromosomes of three …

The study of chromosomal inversion polymorphisms has received much recent attention,
particularly in cases where inversions have drastic effects on phenotypes and fitness (eg …
