i5K Comments for Leptidea sinapis
Leptidea sinapis displays the widest known within-species chromosome number range, excluding cases of polyploidy: 2n=106 to 2n=56 in a 6000 km-wide gradual cline. This butterfly is an emerging model for the study of chromosomal evolution and a potential case of clinal species. Within the genus, two new cryptic synmorphic species have been uncovered and thus it is also becoming a model for the study of speciation. It is widespread, common, and easy to breed in the laboratory. Lepidoptera is one of the four megadiverse insects orders but the only genome currently sequenced is that of Bombyx mori, a moth phylogenetically very distant from L. sinapis. Roger Vila
