Chromosome number evolution in skippers (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae)
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2014 Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), as many other groups of animals and plants, simultaneously represent preservation of ancestral karyotype in the majority of families with a high degree of chromosome number instability in numerous independently ...

Chromosome number evolves at equal rates in holocentric and monocentric clades. [PDF]
PLoS Genet, 2020 Despite the fundamental role of centromeres two different types are observed across plants and animals. Monocentric chromosomes possess a single region that function as the centromere while in holocentric chromosomes centromere activity is spread across ...

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2021 Changes in holocentric chromosome number due to fission and fusion have direct and immediate effects on genome structure and recombination rates. These, in turn, may influence ecology and evolutionary trajectories profoundly.

Chromosome number is key to longevity of polyploid lineages.
New Phytologist, 2021 Polyploidy is ubiquitous and often recursive in plant lineages, most frequently resulting in extinction but occasionally associated with great evolutionary success.

A deep dive into the ancestral chromosome number and genome size of flowering plants.
New Phytologist, 2020 Chromosome number and genome variation in flowering plants has stimulated a blossoming number of speculations about the ancestral chromosome number of angiosperms, but estimates so far remain equivocal.

Variation in genome size, cell and nucleus volume, chromosome number and rDNA loci among duckweeds. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Duckweeds are small, free-floating, largely asexual and highly neotenous organisms. They display the most rapid growth among flowering plants and are of growing interest in aquaculture and genome biology.

Unscrambling phylogenetic effects and ecological determinants of chromosome number in major angiosperm clades. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 As variations in the chromosome number are recognized to be of evolutionary interest but are also widely debated in the literature, we aimed to quantitatively test for possible relationships among the chromosome number, plant traits, and environmental ...

Sex and Pubertal Differences in the Type 1 Interferon Pathway Associate With Both X Chromosome Number and Serum Sex Hormone Concentration. [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2018 Type 1 interferons (IFN) are an antiviral cytokine family, important in juvenile onset systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE) which is more common in females, around puberty.

Genome Size and Karyotype Studies in Five Species of Lantana (Verbenaceae)
HortScience, 2021 Lantana species are an important component of the U.S. environmental horticulture industry. The most commonly produced and used species are L. camara and, on a smaller scale, L. montevidensis. Both were introduced to the United States from Central and/or
