A diverse array of sex determination (SD) mechanisms, encompassing environmental to
genetic, have been found to exist among vertebrates, covering a spectrum from fixed SD …

Genomic analysis of many nonmodel species has uncovered an incredible diversity of sex
chromosome systems, making it possible to empirically test the rich body of evolutionary …

Owing to their taxonomic, phenotypic, ecological and behavioural diversity and propensity
for explosive diversification, the assemblages of cichlid fish in the East African Great Lakes …

Although sex is a fundamental component of eukaryotic reproduction, the genetic systems
that control sex determination are highly variable. In many organisms the presence of sex …

Despite decades of cytogenetic and genomic research of dynamic sex chromosome
evolution in teleost fishes, multiple sex chromosomes have been largely neglected. In this …

Background Fishes are the one of the most diverse groups of animals with respect to their
modes of sex determination, providing unique models for uncovering the evolutionary and …

Background African cichlid fishes are well known for their rapid radiations and are a model
system for studying evolutionary processes. Here we compare multiple, high-quality …

African cichlids display a remarkable assortment of jaw morphologies, pigmentation
patterns, and mating behaviors. In addition to this previously documented diversity, recent …

Cichlid fishes are a very diverse and species-rich family of teleost fishes that inhabit lakes
and rivers of India, Africa, and South and Central America. Research has largely focused on …

Sex is a fundamental trait determined by environmental and/or genetic factors, including sex
chromosomes. Sex chromosomes are studied in species scattered across the tree of life, yet …
