  bibo_abstract:
  - Sex chromosomes have evolved independently multiple times, but why some are conserved
    for more than 100 million years whereas others turnover rapidly remains an open
    question. Here, we examine the homology of sex chromosomes across nine orders
    of insects, plus the outgroup springtails. We find that the X chromosome is likely
    homologous across insects and springtails; the only exception is in the Lepidoptera,
    which has lost the X and now has a ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system. These results
    suggest the ancestral insect X chromosome has persisted for more than 450 million
    years – the oldest known sex chromosome to date. Further, we propose that the
    shrinking of gene content of the Dipteran X chromosome has allowed for a burst
    of sex-chromosome turnover that is absent from other speciose insect orders.@eng
