The paper investigates sex chromosome evolution in frogs by analyzing coexisting Y haplotypes, revealing cyclic differentiation dynamics rather than unidirectional degeneration.

This study investigates the evolution of sex-determining genes in anurans, finding that gene duplication is rare and sex chromosome turnover is driven by mutations in developmental pathway genes rather than translocation.

The paper shows that HD mating-type genes have lost function in three Microbotryum species, with PR genes controlling mating compatibility, and reports evolutionary strata from recombination suppression.

The paper analyzes cytological and genomic features of two Leptodactylus frog species to understand the evolution of multivalent sex chromosomes in meiosis.
