i5K Comments for Pemphigus obesinymphae
This aphid is distinct from the pea aphid, the genome of which was published recently. Unlike the pea aphid, it has a complex life cycle, attacking both poplars and crucifers. Moreover, Pemphigus obesinymphae is one of the few social aphids. Thus, this genome would address diverse and important areas of biology and entomology: from plant-insect biology (recall that the poplar genome is available), to evolutionary biology (being the first genome of a social aphid), ecological and community ecology (Tom Whitham has worked on the Pemphigus genus for years, and it has helped to develop his "community genetics" framework), and as pests on important cash crops, applied agricultural issues. They are common across North America, and readily available in abundant quantities, both across host plants and at various developmental stages. Patrick Abbot
