The impact of chromosomal rearrangements in speciation: from micro-to macroevolution
Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) have been known since almost the beginning of
genetics. While an important role for CRs in speciation has been suggested, evidence …

Repeat-based holocentromeres influence genome architecture and karyotype evolution
The centromere represents a single region in most eukaryotic chromosomes. However,
several plant and animal lineages assemble holocentromeres along the entire chromosome …

Chromosome Fissions and Fusions Act as Barriers to Gene Flow between Brenthis Fritillary Butterflies
Chromosome rearrangements are thought to promote reproductive isolation between
incipient species. However, it is unclear how often, and under what conditions, fission and …

Speciation through chromosomal fusion and fission in Lepidoptera
Changes in chromosome numbers may strongly affect reproductive barriers, because
individuals heterozygous for distinct karyotypes are typically expected to be at least partially …
