Synapsis and recombination of autosomes and sex chromosomes in two terns (Sternidae, Charadriiformes, Aves)
The frequency of recombination and the patterns of crossover site distribution along the chromosomes vary considerably among animal species, including closely related species. Several hypotheses concerning the adaptive value and evolution of these variations were proposed. It was supposed that the r...

The frequency of recombination and the patterns of crossover site distribution along the chromosomes vary considerably among animal species, including closely related species. Several hypotheses concerning the adaptive value and evolution of these variations were proposed. It was supposed that the recombination patterns of the species’ genomes are influenced by their phylogenetic history and ecology. However, most original data were obtained from mammals. The mammals show high karyological variability, which strongly influences the recombination patterns. Therefore it is important to study recombination rate and distribution in more karyologically stable taxa, such as reptiles and birds. We used immunolocalization of SYCP3, the protein of the lateral element of the synaptonemal complex (SC), centromere proteins and the mismatch-repair protein MLH1, which is associated with the recombination nodules, at the synaptonemal complex spreads of prophase oocytes of two tern species, black tern (Chlidonias niger) and common tern (Sterna hirundo).
