The effects on pigment levels in his own words follow: “While there seems to be but a single chromosomal set responsible for the presence...

... system Neotropical fish Satellitome Sex chromosome evolution A key feature of eukaryotic genomes is their substantial amount of repetitive DNA sequences. Advanced sequencing technologies, together with the emergence of bioinformatics tools, have led to a sharp increase in the amount...

.... Knowledge of the karyotypes can facilitate genome assembly and further our understanding of sex chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera. Here, we describe the karyotypes of the Glanville fritillary Melitaea cinxia (n = 31), the monarch Danaus plexippus (n = 30), and the African queen D. chrysippus (2n = 60...

..., the meiotic pairing configurations, the diploidization processes operating in polyploid genomes, the phenomenon of hybridogenesis, and the relationship between polyploidization and sex chromosome evolution are discussed. The polyploid systems in some important amphibian taxa are described in more detail...
