A whopping 144 red deer genomes from across their range shows how markers with different modes of inheritance (e.g. the sex chromosomes) capture different signals from isolation in glacial refugia. The X chromosome is a useful marker in this context! academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Red Deer Resequencing Reveals the Importance of Sex Chromosomes for Reconstructing Late Quaternary Events

Abstract. Sex chromosomes differ in their inheritance properties from autosomes and hence may encode complementary information about past demographic event
