This is fueled by the ongoing debate on species concepts and facilitated by the availability of an unprecedented large number of genomic resources. Genomes are organized into chromosomes, where significant variations in number and morphology are observed among species due to large-scale structural variants such as inversions, translocations, fusions, and fissions. This genomic reshuffling provides, in the long term, new chromosomal forms on which natural selection can act upon, contributing to the origin of biodiversity. This book contains mainly articles, reviews, and an opinion piece that explore numerous aspects of genome plasticity among taxa that will help in understanding the dynamics of genome composition, the evolutionary relationships between species and, in the long run, speciation.Technology: general issuesbicssccytogeneticssex chromosomeschromosome rearrangementsgenome plasticitycentromeregenome biologyevolutionBAC-cloneschromosome paintingKirk's Dikdikmusk oxsaolanilgai bullgaursatellite DNAgenome architecturechromosome restructuringRobertsonian translocationssatellite DNA transcriptioncomparative genomic hybridizationkaryotype variabilityrepetitive DNAsRobertsonian translocationCrocidura suaveolensshrewshabitat specialistchromosomeschromosomal evolutionB-chromosomeschromosomal polymorphismmtDNARallidaePsophiidaecytogeneticchromosome evolutionphylogeneticAnophelesheterochromatinmosquitomitotic chromosomesex chromosomeX chromosomeaberrant sex determinationcomparative cytogeneticsmandarin volemicrodissectionhigh-throughput sequencingrearrangementsrodentsEllobius alaicustranslocationnon-homologous chromosome connectionsmeiosissynaptonemal complexsex chromosome evolutionkaryotypic and molecular evolutiongenomic architecture of sexual developmentadaptation and natural selectiongenome organization and functionnucleolar organizing regiondosage compensationfaster-X and faster-Zclimate change and global warmingreptilian vertebratescomparative fish cytogeneticscytotaxonomychromosome bandingEast Asian cypriniform fishesFISHrDNAsnDNAbirdsdoves and pigeonsgenome organizationmacrochromosomesmicrochromosomesRobertsonian fusionsdistributionclinal analysisrecombinationsexual antagonismchromatin stateTechnology: general issuesRuiz-Herrera Auroraedt1318426Farré-Belmonte MartaedtRuiz-Herrera AuroraothFarré-Belmonte MartaothBOOK9910557684503321Mechanisms Driving Karyotype Evolution and Genomic Architecture3033229UNINA
