Microsatellite distribution on sex chromosomes at different stages of heteromorphism and heterochromatinization in two lizard species (Squamata: Eublepharidae: Coleonyx elegans and Lacertidae: Eremias velox)

BMC Genetics, 2011
Background The accumulation of repetitive sequences such as microsatellites during the differentiation of sex chromosomes has not been studied in most squamate reptiles (lizards, amphisbaenians and snakes), a group which has a large diversity of sex ...

Karyotype and male meiosis in Spartocera batatas and meiotic behaviour of multiple sex chromosomes in Coreidae (Heteroptera)

European Journal of Entomology, 2006
The Coreidae (Heteroptera) have holokinetic chromosomes and during male meiosis the autosomal bivalents segregate reductionally at anaphase I while the sex chromosomes do so equationally. The modal diploid chromosome number of the family is 2n = 21, with

Chromosome mapping of repetitive sequences in Anostomidae species: implications for genomic and sex chromosome evolution

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2012
Background Members of the Anostomidae family provide an interesting model system for the study of the influence of repetitive elements on genome composition, mainly because they possess numerous heterochromatic segments and a peculiar system of female ...

Genetic and cytological analyses reveal the recombination landscape of a partially differentiated plant sex chromosome in kiwifruit

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Angiosperm sex chromosomes, where present, are generally recently evolved. The key step in initiating the development of sex chromosomes from autosomes is the establishment of a sex-determining locus within a region of non-recombination.

The Staurotypus turtles and aves share the same origin of sex chromosomes but evolved different types of heterogametic sex determination.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Reptiles have a wide diversity of sex-determining mechanisms and types of sex chromosomes. Turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination and genotypic sex determination, with male heterogametic (XX/XY) and female heterogametic (ZZ/ZW) sex ...

Turtles of the genera Geoemyda and Pangshura (Testudines: Geoemydidae) lack differentiated sex chromosomes: the end of a 40-year error cascade for Pangshura [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
For a long time, turtles of the family Geoemydidae have been considered exceptional because representatives of this family were thought to possess a wide variety of sex determination systems.

Numerous transitions of sex chromosomes in Diptera.

PLoS Biology, 2015
Many species groups, including mammals and many insects, determine sex using heteromorphic sex chromosomes. Diptera flies, which include the model Drosophila melanogaster, generally have XY sex chromosomes and a conserved karyotype consisting of six ...

Kinetic activity of the sex chromosomes of Mormidea paupercula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2010
In Mormidea paupercula (n = 6 + XY in males), the presence of a CMA3-bright band in the telomeric regions on both sex chromosomes allowed the analysis of the kinetic activity of the sex univalents and XY pseudobivalent at the first and second meiotic ...

Evolutionary pattern of karyotypes and meiosis in pholcid spiders (Araneae: Pholcidae): implications for reconstructing chromosome evolution of araneomorph spiders

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Despite progress in genomic analysis of spiders, their chromosome evolution is not satisfactorily understood. Most information on spider chromosomes concerns the most diversified clade, entelegyne araneomorphs.
