The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, is a worldwide pest that disproportionately affects subsistence farmers in developing countries. Damage from this pest threatens food security in these communitie
High-density linkage maps are important tools for genome biology and evolutionary genetics by quantifying the extent of recombination, linkage disequilibrium and chromosomal rearrangements across chro
This study provides a dense linkage map for the hybridising toads Bombina bombina and B. variegata. These anciently diverged toads with large genomes (7.8 Gbp) hybridise freely wherever their distribu
