Great work by @aruizherrera.bsky.social's lab! Amazing paper and have you see the graphical abstract? Happy reading!

This is insane! The Atlas blue butterfly has 227 pairs of autosomes and four sex chromosomes, the highest recorded chromosome number in non-polyploid Metazoa!!!! See below!🦋
Charlotte WrightHow many chromosomes can an animal have? In our paper out now in @currentbiology.bsky.social we show that the Atlas blue butterfly has 229 chromosome pairs- the highest in diploid Metazoa! These arose by rapid autosome fragmentation while sex chromosomes stayed intact. www.cell.com/current-biol...
Hot from the press: XX/XY sex determination in Nautilus (unique among cephalopods)!!!! 🐙
Sarah LemerCheck our latest paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social about the unique sex determination system in Nautilus ➡️ XX/XY chromosomes unlike other cephalopods (ZZ/Z0). with @reef-combo.bsky.social and @anariesgo.bsky.social et al., and led by Hector Torrado.

Hi folks, this is the official Tree of Sex account. We are an open consortium of reproductive scientists with the aim to catalogue reproductive knowledge across Eukaryota. You can be part of it too: treeofsex.sanger.ac.uk
