The paper provides a highly contiguous chromosome-level genome and improved annotation for the swordtail cricket Laupala kohalensis, revealing genomic features related to speciation and sexual differentiation.

The paper examines the relationship between gonad size, brain size, and reproductive tactics in fish, finding that energetic trade-offs are not consistent across morphs, suggesting correlated selection rather than direct resource allocation.

The paper reports the genome of the Amazon guppy, revealing conserved sex chromosomes and complete X chromosome dosage compensation despite Y chromosome degeneration.

The paper identifies a recent transposon wave that remodelled the X chromosome epigenome, leading to a novel dosage compensation mechanism in Poecilia picta.

The paper examines Y chromosome diversity in Poecilia parae, revealing five distinct Y haplotypes associated with different male reproductive morphs despite recombination suppression.
