Contrasting levels of nucleotide diversity on the avian Z and W sex chromosomes

• Sex chromosomes may provide a context for studying the local effects, of mutation rate on molecular evolution, since the two types of sex chromosomes are generally exposed to different mutational environments in male and female germ lines. Importantly, re
