chromploid: An R package for chromosome number evolution across the plant tree of life. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2018 Premise of the Study Polyploidy has profound evolutionary consequences for land plants. Despite the availability of large phylogenetic and chromosomal data sets, estimating the rates of polyploidy and chromosomal evolution across the tree of life remains

Recombination, chromosome number and eusociality in the Hymenoptera. [PDF]
J Evol Biol, 2015 Extraordinarily high rates of recombination have been observed in some eusocial species. The most popular explanation is that increased recombination increases genetic variation among workers, which in turn increases colony performance, for example by ...

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.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Karyotypes and chromosome data have been widely used in many subfields of biology over the last century. Unfortunately, this data is largely scattered among hundreds of articles, books, and theses, many of which are only available behind paywalls.

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.
