PI: Stanger-Hall, Kathrin INSTITUTION: Univ of Texas - AustinPROPOSAL: DEB 0074953The P.I. proposed a project to develop a molecular phylogeny of the North American firefly taxa to study the evolution of their light signals. The proposed work has five parts: 1) develop a molecular phylogeny based on mitochondrial & nuclear genes of extant Lampyridae; 2) map phenotypic data (light color and signal patterns) onto the phylogenetic tree; 3) determine whether certain light colors and patterns can be traced to a single origin; 4) test specific hypotheses on light signal evolution; and 5) investigate the molecular basis of light color evolution in Lampyridae. This PI will be able to initiate a new research program and this POWRE award will provide unique access to time and material for this project.

PI：Stanger -Hall，Kathrin机构：德克萨斯州立大学 - 奥斯汀Propopals：Deb 0074953 The P.I.提出了一个项目，以开发北美萤火虫类群的分子系统发育，以研究其光信号的演变。 拟议的工作有五个部分：1）基于现有兰迪科的线粒体和核基因发展分子系统发育； 2）将表型数据（浅色和信号图案）映射到系统发育树上； 3）确定是否可以将某些浅色和图案追溯到单个起源； 4）在光信号演化上检验特定的假设； 5）研究Lampyridae浅色演化的分子基础。 该PI将能够启动新的研究计划，该POWRE奖将为该项目提供独特的时间和材料访问。
