Scientists at the University of Murcia working on a research project on the evolution of tiger beetles Coleoptera, by cytogenetic approaches, molecular and genomics, which is funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation.

This project aims, among other objectives, analyze the differences at the level of genome organization in pairs of similar species but with remarkable karyotypic differentiation and to conduct a library of a species that is distributed from Spain to India.

The results obtained with the work allow discussion on various issues in evolutionary biology, taxonomy and phylogeny of the groups of insects with higher rates of speciation.

This research is carried out by scientists of Animal Phylogeny and Evolution, led by Professor Jose Galián Albaladejo.
