How to make a sex chromosome [PDF]
Sex chromosomes can evolve once recombination is halted between a homologous pair of chromosomes. Owing to detailed studies using key model systems, we have a nuanced understanding and a rich review literature of what happens to sex chromosomes once ...

Recent sex chromosome divergence despite ancient dioecy in the willow Salix viminalis. [PDF]
Sex chromosomes can evolve when recombination is halted between a pair of chromosomes, and this can lead to degeneration of the sex-limited chromosome.

Mating system, sex ratio, and persistence of females in the gynodioecious shrub Daphne laureola L. (Thymelaeaceae) [PDF]
Although in gynodioecious populations male steriles require a fecundity advantage to compensate for their gametic disadvantage, southern Spanish populations of the long-lived shrub Daphne laureola do not show any fecundity advantage over hermaphrodites ...

The Evolution of Dioecy-Concluding Remarks
Since the pioneer work of Darwin on the evolution of sexual systems in plants (Darwin, 1877a, 1877b) no sexual strategy in recent years has attracted as much attention as dioecy. First, a number of population genetic models were developed in the 1970s to trace the evolution of dioecy via different pathways (Lloyd, 1975, 1976, 1979; Ross, 1970, 1978 ...

Increased diversification rates follow shifts to bisexuality in liverworts [PDF]
Shifts in sexual systems are one of the key drivers of species diversification. In contrast to angiosperms, unisexuality prevails in bryophytes. Here, we test the hypotheses that bisexuality evolved from an ancestral unisexual condition and is a key ...

Mating dynamics in a nematode with three sexes and its evolutionary implications [PDF]
Nematodes have diverse reproductive strategies, which make them ideal subjects for comparative studies to address how mating systems evolve. Here we present the sex ratios and mating dynamics of the free-living nematode Rhabditis sp.

Retrotransposon Proliferation Coincident with the Evolution of Dioecy in Asparagus
Current phylogenetic sampling reveals that dioecy and an XY sex chromosome pair evolved once, or possibly twice, in the genus Asparagus. Although there appear to be some lineage-specific polyploidization events, the base chromosome number of 2n = 2× = 20

Population Structure and Spatial Pattern in the Dioecious Shrub Ceratiola ericoides [PDF]
The dioecious shrub Ceratiola ericoides (Florida rosemary) dominates xeric, infrequently burned Florida scrub vegetation, often to the near-exclusion of other woody species.
