Abstract: Interspecific crossing experiments have shown that sex chromosomes play a major role in reproductive isolation between many pairs of species. However, their ability to act as reproductive barriers, which hamper interspecific genetic exchange, has rarely… read more here.

Abstract: Reproductive isolation (RI) is the core of biological species concept (BSC) [1]. In other words, there are many forms of RI among species that hinder genetic exchange to ensure genetic purity, so that species maintain… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.00021
Abstract: Bacteria and archaea can exchange genetic material across lineages through processes of lateral genetic transfer (LGT). Collectively, these exchange relationships can be modeled as a network and analyzed using concepts from graph theory. In particular,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology10060471
Abstract: Simple Summary The reproduction of trypanosomatids is a fundamental issue for host–parasite interaction, and its biological importance lies in knowing how these species acquire new defense mechanisms against the countermeasures imposed by the host, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11050580
Abstract: Despite major advances over the last decade in our understanding of Leishmania reproductive strategies, the sexual cycle in Leishmania has defied direct observation and remains poorly investigated due to experimental constraints. Here, we summarize the… read more here.

Abstract: Protozoa and fungi are known to have extraordinarily diverse mechanisms of genetic exchange. However, the presence and epidemiological relevance of genetic exchange in Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, has been controversial and debated… read more here.
