i5K Comments for Agrodiaetus fulgens
It has one of the highest chromosome numbers in animals (2n=216). Its study is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of rapid genome evolution, including the role of mobile elements. It diverged from morphologically very different A. fabressei only few thousand years ago. Therefore, it would be easy to study the genes related to speciation by comparison of their genomes. It has blue male wing color, but A. fabressei is brown. Thus, it would be very easy to study the genetic basis of male color change and female preference (genetically linked?) by comparing to A. fabressei. The species is easy to obtain in Spain, also in Barcelona. Vladimir Lukhtanov
