Fragmented chromosomes have their telomeres restored, stabilizing them.
But more than that. Telomeres become hypertrophically enlarged, hinting at telomerase activity as a force constraining karyotype evolution in Lepidoptera.

Another paper on polyommatine blue butterflies just published in @genomebiolevol.bsky.social. Blues have high chromosome numbers associated with increased diversification and their karyotypes reveal strategies to maintain genomic integrity amidst profound karyotypic changes doi.org/10.1093/gbe/...
