Abstract: Triatoma maculata (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) occurs across dry‐to‐semiarid ecoregions of northern South America, where it transmits Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease. Using 207 field‐caught specimens from throughout the species' range, mitochondrial(mt) DNA sequence… read more here.

Abstract: The diversity of sex determination systems in animals suggests that sex chromosomes evolve independently across different lineages. However, the present data on these systems is largely limited and represented mainly by bilaterian animals. Sex chromosomes… read more here.
