Structural genomic variants (SVs) are ubiquitous and play a major role in adaptation and
speciation. Yet, comparative and population genomics have focused predominantly on gene …

Both classical and recent studies suggest that chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are
important in adaptation and speciation. However, biases in discovery and reporting of …

House mice (Mus musculus) have spread globally as a result of their commensal
relationship with humans. In the form of laboratory strains, both inbred and outbred, they are …

The origin and inheritance of chromosome changes provide the essential foundation for
natural selection and evolution. The evolutionary fate of chromosome changes depends on …

We report the discovery of a novel neo‐sex chromosome in an African warbler, Sylvietta
brachyura (northern crombec; Macrosphenidae). This species is part of the Sylvioidea …

Dear Editor, Robertsonian (Rb) fusions contribute to the diversity in species karyotypes.
However, how it occurs and propels evolution is still unknown, mainly due to the lack of a …

Natural populations of the house mouse Mus musculus domesticus show great diversity in
chromosomal number due to the presence of chromosomal rearrangements, mainly …

Dicentric chromosomes are products of genomic rearrangements that place two
centromeres on the same chromosome. Due to the presence of two primary constrictions …

Extant phylogeographical patterns of Palearctic terrestrial vertebrates are generally believed
to have originated from glacial range fragmentation. Post-Pleistocene range expansions …

Chromosomal variation among closely related taxa is common in both plants and animals,
and can reduce rates of introgression as well as promote reproductive isolation and …
