Abstract Despite newly formed polyploids being subjected to myriad fitness consequences, the relative prevalence of polyploidy, both contemporarily and in ancestral branches of the tree of life, sugge...

Abstract. Sex chromosomes have evolved independently many times across eukaryotes. Despite a considerable body of literature on sex chromosome evolution, t

The coevolution of plants and their insect herbivores reflects eco-evolutionary dynamics at work – ecological interactions influence adaptive traits, which feed back to shape the broader ecological ...

Abstract. Y chromosomes are thought to undergo progressive degeneration due to stepwise loss of recombination and subsequent reduction in selection efficie
