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 ...
