Genome evolution in the primitive frog Leipelma hochstetteri
The primitive New Zealand frog Leiopelma hochstetteri shows exceptional karyotypic variation. On the North Island, females carry univalent W chromosome and both sexes have 0 to 15 supernumerary chromosomes. Frogs from Great Barrier Island have a conventional 2n = 22 karyotype, with no sex chromosome...
