Thank you for this rabbit hole! I am stunned that creatures with such a huge difference in chromosome number can produce viable offspring! Reading about chromosomal fusion, genome shock, and stunning, is freaking incredible, and I'm going to be obsessing about this for a while. I pity they people in my life who are about to get the most random, intense, infodump soon.
