EVOLUTION OF EXTREMELY COMPLICATED SEX CHROMOSOME SYSTEMS IN BLAPS (COLEOPTERA)EVOLUTION OF EXTREMELY COMPLICATED SEX CHROMOSOME SYSTEMS IN BLAPS (COLEOPTERA)
(University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
Sex chromosome evolution in cotton stainers of the genus dysdercus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae)
(Karger, 2009-12)
The neo-X and neo-Y sex chromosomes of Dysdercus albofasciatus represent a unique model for the study of early stages of sex chromosome evolution since they retained the ability to pair and recombine, in contrast to sex ...
Possible origin of polymorphism for chromosome number in the assassin bug Zelurus femoralis longispinis (Reduviidae: Reduviinae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-10)
In this study, we analysed a population of Zelurus femoralis longispinis polymorphic for chromosomal number. The fundamental karyotype of this subspecies is 2n = 22 = 20A + XY (male), but individuals with 2n = 23 = 20A + ...
Tracking the evolution of sex chromosome systems in Melanoplinae grasshoppers through chromosomal mapping of repetitive DNA sequences
(BioMed Central, 2013-08)
Background: The accumulation of repetitive DNA during sex chromosome differentiation is a common feature of many eukaryotes and becomes more evident after recombination has been restricted or abolished. The accumulated ...
Chromosome evolution and phylogeny in Ronderosia (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Melanoplinae): clues of survivors to the challenge of sympatry?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-01)
In an attempt to unveil the origin of neo-sex chromosomes in Ronderosia Cigliano grasshoppers, we performed a combined phylogenetic analysis based on morphological (external morphology and male genitalia) and molecular ...
Data reassessment in a phylogenetic context gives insight into chromosome evolution in the giant genus Solanum (Solanaceae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-05)
Chromosome data are fundamental in evolution. However, there has been no attempt to synthesize and evaluate the significance of such information from a phylogenetic perspective in the giant genus Solanum, which was the aim ...
Chromosomal divergence and evolutionary inferences in Rhodniini based on the chromosomal location of ribosomal genes
(Instituto Oswaldo CruzBiología y Control de Enfermedades InfecciosasRío de Janeiro, Brasil, 2021)
Interstitial telomeric sequences in vertebrate chromosomes: Origin, function, instability and evolution
(Elsevier Science, 2017-07)
By definition, telomeric sequences are located at the very ends or terminal regions of chromosomes. However, several vertebrate species show blocks of (TTAGGG)n repeats present in non-terminal regions of chromosomes, the ...
Chromosome puzzle in the southernmost populations of the medically important scorpion Tityus bahiensis (Perty 1833) (Buthidae), a polymorphic species with striking structural rearrangements
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020-09)
The scorpion Tityus bahiensis is the most common scorpion species of medical importance with sexual reproduction in South America. Many of the populations cytogenetically studied so far are polymorphic both for chromosome ...
Karyotype evolution in progress: A new diploid number in Belostoma candidulum (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae) from Argentina leading to new insights into its ecology and evolution
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2014-05)
A novel chromosome complement (2n = 14 = 12 + XY/XX; male/female sex chromosomes), male meiosis behaviour, heterochromatin characterization, and frequency and distribution of chiasmata are described for the first time in ...
