The contrasting role of heterochromatin in the differentiation of sex chromosomes: an overview from Neotropical fishes
(WILEY-BLACKWELLMALDEN, 2012)
During the evolutionary process of the sex chromosomes, a general principle that arises is that cessation or a partial restriction of recombination between the sex chromosome pair is necessary. Data from phylogenetically ...
Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes in neotropical freshwater fish
(2001-12-01)
A general survey of the occurrence of morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes in the neotropical freshwater fishes is presented. The total number of 32 occurrences involving simple XX-XY and ZZ-ZW, and multiple ...
More sex chromosomes than autosomes in the Amazonian frog Leptodactylus pentadactylus
(2018-06-01)
Heteromorphic sex chromosomes are common in eukaryotes and largely ubiquitous in birds and mammals. The largest number of multiple sex chromosomes in vertebrates known today is found in the monotreme platypus (Ornithorhynchus ...
Heteromorphic Sex Chromosomes and Their DNA Content in Fish: An Insight through Satellite DNA Accumulation in Megaleporinus elongatus
(Karger, 2020-04-01)
The repetitive DNA content of fish sex chromosomes provides valuable insights into specificities and patterns of their genetic sex determination systems. In this study, we revealed the genomic satellite DNA (satDNA) content ...
Meiosis and Chromosome Painting of Sex Chromosome Systems in Ceboidea
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2001-02)
The identity of the chromosomes involved in the multiple sex system of Alouatta caraya (Aca) and the possible distribution of this system among other Ceboidea were investigated by chromosome painting of mitotic cells from ...
A novel ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system for the genus Leporinus (Pisces, Anostomidae, Characiformes)
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2004-05-01)
A wide range of sex chromosome mechanisms, including simple and multiple chromosome systems is characteristic of fishes. The Leporinus genus represent a good model to study sex chromosome mechanisms, because an unambiguous ...

(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2004-05-01)

Multiple sex chromosome systems in howler monkeys (Platyrrhini, Alouatta)
(Zoological Inst, 2014-02)
In light of the multiple sex chromosome systems observed in howler monkeys (Alouatta Lacépède, 1799) a combined cladistic analysis using chromosomal and molecular characters was applied to discuss the possible origin of ...
Insights into the karyotype evolution and speciation of the beetle Euchroma gigantea (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)
(2018-09-01)
Euchroma Dejean, 1833 (Buprestidae: Coleoptera) is a monotypic genus comprising the species Euchroma gigantea, with populations presenting a degree of karyotypic variation/polymorphism rarely found within a single taxonomic ...
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 + ...
