Sexual reproduction is prevalent across diverse taxa. However, sex-determination
mechanisms are so diverse that even closely related species often differ in sex …

Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

Large-scale genome-structural evolution is common in various organisms. Recent
developments in speciation genomics revealed the importance of inversions, whereas the …

Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

Recombination, the exchange of DNA between maternal and paternal chromosomes during
meiosis, is an essential feature of sexual reproduction in nearly all multicellular organisms …

Speciation is a fundamental evolutionary process, the knowledge of which is crucial for
understanding the origins of biodiversity. Genomic approaches are an increasingly …

Aquaculture has made an enormous contribution to the world food production, especially to
the sustainable supply of animal proteins. The utility of diverse reproduction strategies in …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …
