Deskripsi

The evolution of new sex chromosomes potentially generates reproductive isolation. Here, Bracewell et al. combine crossing experiments with population and functional genomics to characterize neo-sex chromosome evolution and incipient speciation in the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae.
