Abstract excerpt
Elucidating theories of sex chromosome evolution requires approaches that allow fine scale delimitations of sex-determining regions within a phylogenetic context. This can address whether shared sex chromosomes across related species are due to shared ancestry, or whether genetic sex-determining regions have repeatedly evolved. Haplochromine cichlids, as one of the most successful fish lineages on Earth, have...
