(1/5)Thrilled to announce our paper on #ProjectPsyche is out! 🦋We describe how we’ve generated 1000+ high-quality genomes for European Lepidoptera, providing an unprecedented resource for biodiversity, conservation, and evolutionary research. #Genomics #Biodiversity www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

One of the most exciting projects I have ever been involved in: Project Psyche! Read all about our ambitions and aims. It's ground breaking stuff, just mind blowing and even surreal (27 years ago we did single genes for lep phylogenetics)! @projectpsyche.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Do you use genomic data to study Lepidoptera in Europe? Do you want to visit a lab to learn a new skill or build a new collaboration? If so, you should apply for a short term scientific mission! These are small grants to fund research exchanges as part of our Lep10K COST action. All info below!

It is so nice to finally see the first paper of my PhD published! It was possible thanks to invaluable contributions of Andrea Chiocchio, @mariaheikkila.bsky.social, @jadrankarota.bsky.social, Lauri Kaila, and @lepphylo.bsky.social.

@10klepgenomes.bsky.social is spending this week in beautiful Vinschgau valley in South Tyrol, collecting as many new species for @projectpsyche.bsky.social as possible!

First field trip of the #WG2 has come to an end! We will share some of the most relevant moments of this fantastic week! Stay tuned 🦋🧬

Help us design and choose a new logo for the SEL! Send your entry to me by Fri 18 Jul (jpg, png, pdf). Voting will be open 25 Jul–15 Aug. Details on how to vote will follow.

Mesquite 4.0 released! A major update — many new features, small and large (phylogenomics, visualizations, workflow management, &c). Check out the trailer video: www.mesquiteproject.org. Come discuss in our new Google Group (groups.google.com/g/mesquite-project). @bembidion.bsky.social ‬🧪 #evolbio

🚨Postdoc opportunity🚨: LepEU postdoc: comparative population genomics of European scale adaptation in butterflies 2 year, full-time PD in my group, Stockholm Univ. Applications assed on rolling basis, deadline: 23 August 2025. Planned start 1 Oct. Details: christopherwheatlab.wordpress.com

Registration for the upcoming SEL congress extended until Jun 15! If you experience problems with the registration form, please reach out to the congress organiser, Zdeněk Fric ([email protected]) and he'll happily sort it out. Looking forward to seeing you in August! sel.entu.cas.cz/registration...

👩🏾‍💻 It’s finally here! 👩🏾‍💻 We’re excited to announce the launch of our official website for Cost Action 10kLepGenomes: www.10klepgenomes.eu 🦋 We invite you to explore and stay updated with our progress in Lepidoptera genomics! 🧬 #10kLepGenomes #Lepidoptera #Genomics

Will you join us for this year's SEL congress in the Czech village of Svatý Jan pod Skalou, just outside of Prague? We will have the week from 18 to 23 August together to meet up, share experiences, make new friends, and listen to exciting presentations. You can register here: sel.entu.cas.cz

Our global phylogeny of Eurytomidae is now published in Systematic Entomology @respublications.bsky.social resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Come and join fellow lepidopterists at the 24th European Congress of Lepidopterology in the Czech Republic August 18-23, 2025! Abstract submission deadline April 30, registration deadline May 31. See you :-) sel.entu.cas.cz/important-da...

(1/4) In its first year, #ProjectPsyche has engaged with the research community by creating networks with experts in moths and butterflies 🦋 Members of the project have also trained the research community in #GenomeCuration, a key step in the generation of genomes 🧬

A postdoc opportunity to work on Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) functional genomics with me, @jadrankarota.bsky.social and @chriswheat.bsky.social in Lund, Sweden. We aim to leverage the amazing amount of data being generated by @projectpsyche.bsky.social and DToL projects. lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

Move along now... There's nothing to see here... Just a couple of jumping spiders... nothing special... (Mating pair of Gemmed Satyrs, Cyllopsis gemma) Levy County, Florida, USA

There's still time to apply to join our team at #Systematic_Entomology as co-Editor-in-Chief Importantly it is a #Society_Journal & @royentsoc.bsky.social is truly an awesome and welcoming society! 📆Extended deadline: Dec 6 royensoc.co.uk/opportunitie... #Entomology #systematics #phylogenetics

A permanent molecular ecology lab coordinator position in Helsinki! Come and work with a bunch of groups (including mine) working on various topics in ecology and evolution. English is the working language of the lab. Finland is the happiest country in the world 😀 jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...
