The speckled wood Pararge aegeria, a temperate zone species, is a popular eco-evo-devo model species for studies on spatio-temporal variation in female reproduction, life cycle regulation (in relation to reproduction), thermoregulatory behaviour, morphology and dispersal in response to climate change and habitat fragmentation. Current research efforts focus on understanding the developmental genetic underpinnings of this variation, for which the availability high-quality genetic data is vital. Transcriptomic and genomic data has recently been collected in the lab of Casper Breuker and Melanie Gibbs.
