Project Firefly: Luciola cruciata
The Japanese firefly, Luciola cruciata is notable in that nearby fireflies flash in synchrony, making the trees pulsate with green light which fishermen use as a guide to bring them home. The Cambridge team selected Luciola cruciata because [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1946326 Kajiyama and Nakano (1991)] had described a suite of single amino acid changes which significantly changed the wavelength of peak emission.
