i5K Comments for Allonemobius fasciatus
The Allonemobius socius complex, which includes A. socius, A. fasciatus, and A. sp. nov. Tex, has been an important and well-studied non-model insect species. An overview of the important points are below:

(1) 127 publications since 1980 (2) >3,700 citations from these publications (data from Google Scholar) (3) Used to study ... i. Evolutionary Biology (77 publications) ii. Ecology (50 publications) iii. Evolutionary Genetics (42 publications) iv. Physiology (40 publications) v. Behavior (38 publications) (4) A model for rapid evolution of new species and postmating, prezygotic isolation (5) A well-studied system for the novel nuptial feeding behavior (6) Several genomic tools already in place including ... i. RNAi has been done successfully ii. EST libraries (based on 454 sequencing) for ...a. Female reproductive tract (168,690 sequences) b. Male testis (144,416 sequences) c. Male ACG (37,521 sequences) iii. Several linkage maps have been generated

(7) Significant NSF funding since the early 1980s Lastly, we can provide suitable genetic material.		 Jeremy L. Marshall
