Abstract excerpt
Identifying and quantifying genome size variation among species and understanding the underlying causes is a long-standing objective in evolutionary biology. Here, we investigated the basis of genome size variation between two closely related species of terrestrial isopods: Armadillidium vulgare and Armadillidium nasatum. The two species diverged 25 million years ago and the A. vulgare genome is ~500 megabases...
