Albuquerque characterized the satellitome of the pea aphid, with results suggesting that satDNAs contribute to genome evolution, biotype divergence, and the “fast-X” effect.

Exploring the Satellitome of the Pest Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera, Aphididae): Insights Into Genome Organization and Intraspecies Evolution
Abstract. Satellite DNAs (satDNAs), ubiquitous sequences in eukaryotic genomes, play a crucial role in genome organization, function, and evolution. The pe

Karyotype evolution and speciation in Orthoptera
Abstract. Karyotype evolution might fuel speciation and can thereby contribute to species diversity. To test the hypothesis that speciation and karyotype c
