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 issuesbicsscaberrant sex determinationadaptation and natural selectionAnophelesB-chromosomesBAC-clonesbirdscentromerechromatin statechromosomal evolutionchromosomal polymorphismchromosome bandingchromosome evolutionchromosome paintingchromosome rearrangementschromosome restructuringchromosomesclimate change and global warmingclinal analysiscomparative cytogeneticscomparative fish cytogeneticscomparative genomic hybridizationCrocidura suaveolenscytogeneticcytogeneticscytotaxonomydistributiondosage compensationdoves and pigeonsEast Asian cypriniform fishesEllobius alaicusevolutionfaster-X and faster-ZFISHgaurgenome architecturegenome biologygenome organizationgenome organization and functiongenome plasticitygenomic architecture of sexual developmenthabitat specialistheterochromatinhigh-throughput sequencingkaryotype variabilitykaryotypic and molecular evolutionKirk's Dikdikmacrochromosomesmandarin volemeiosismicrochromosomesmicrodissectionmitotic chromosomemosquitomtDNAmusk oxn/anilgai bullnon-homologous chromosome connectionsnucleolar organizing regionphylogeneticPsophiidaeRallidaerDNArearrangementsrecombinationrepetitive DNAsreptilian vertebratesRobertsonian fusionsRobertsonian translocationRobertsonian translocationsrodentssaolasatellite DNAsatellite DNA transcriptionsex chromosomesex chromosome evolutionsex chromosomessexual antagonismshrewssnDNAsynaptonemal complextranslocationX chromosomeTechnology: general issuesRuiz-Herrera Auroraedt1318426Farré-Belmonte MartaedtRuiz-Herrera AuroraothFarré-Belmonte MartaothBOOK9910557684503321Mechanisms Driving Karyotype Evolution and Genomic Architecture3033229UNINA
