Fragmentation pattern of alveolin and chgHm genes. The pseudogenized fragments of the hard‐chorion‐related genes of Cyprinodontiformes (A and D), Synbranchiformes and Anabantiformes (B and E), and Syngnathiformes (C and F) exhibit clear relationships between the loss of alveolin and chgHm genes and egg‐care strategies (p < 0.001: in all analysed lineages). Each panel indicates the degree of fragmentation in the genomic synteny. The results of VISTA alignment for the detection of pseudogenic fragments of alveolins (A–C) and chgHm (D–F) that exhibited conserved genomic synteny are shown using neighbouring genes as indicators. Re‐analysis of RNA‐seq data for (G) alveolin and (H) chgHm. Expression was not detected even by de novo assembly in egg‐care species (magenta).
