Abstrakt: Furnariidae (ovenbirds) is one of the most diversified families in the Passeriformes order and Suboscines suborder. Despite the great diversity of species, cytogenetic research is still in its early stages, restricting our knowledge of their karyotype evolution. We combined traditional and molecular cytogenetic analyses in three representative species, Synallaxis frontalis, Syndactyla rufosuperciliata, and Cranioleuca obsoleta, to examine the chromosomal structure and evolution of ovenbirds. Our findings revealed that all the species studied had the same diploid number (2n = 82). Differences in chromosomal morphology of some macrochromosomes indicate the presence of intrachromosomal rearrangements. Although the three species only had the 18S rDNA on one microchromosome pair, chromosomal mapping of six simple short repeats revealed a varied pattern of chromosome distribution among them, suggesting that each species underwent different repetitive DNA accumulation upon their divergence. The interspecific comparative genomic hybridization experiment revealed that the Furnariidae species investigated carry centromeric regions enriched in similar repetitive sequences, bolstering the Furnariidae family's karyotype conservation. Nonetheless, the outgroup species Turdus rufiventris (Turdidae) demonstrated an advanced stage of sequence divergence with hybridization signals that were almost entirely limited to a few microchromosomes. Overall, the findings imply that Furnariidae species have a high degree of chromosomal conservation, and we could also observe a differentiation of repetitive sequences in both Passeriformes suborders (Suboscines and Oscines).
