The paper measures the rate of chromosomal change across eukaryotic clades and finds that dysploidy rates vary widely, influenced by life history and population structure rather than phylogeny.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the southern pine beetle and identifies gene content reduction and annotation biases in the Dendroctonus clade.

This study estimates rates of chromosome number evolution in birds, finding higher fusion rates and a correlation between micro- and macrochromosome rearrangements, with population size and selection influencing these patterns.
