Telomeric heterochromatin and meiotic recombination in three species of Coleoptera (Dorcadion olympicum Ganglebauer, Stephanorrhina princeps Oberthür and Macraspis tristis Laporte)
Centromeres are generally embedded in heterochromatin, which is assumed to have a negative impact on meiotic recombination in adjacent regions, a condition required for the correct segregation of chromosomes at anaphase I.
