Wow!

We need your help! If you have a few minutes, please fill out a very short survey about your preferences on butterflies and art - all responses are welcome! www.unveiling.eu This is part of a project that aims to understand how the beauty of butterflies influences conservation: Unveiling (1/2)

Please help spread the word: My colleagues are interested in whether aesthetic appreciation of 🦋can lead to biases in conservation, policy and public interest. Please complete the short survey (link below). Responses from all welcome : www.unveiling.eu/en_US/introd... #conservation

PhD position for Chinese nationals! London-based, funded by China Scholarship Council & @qmul.bsky.social "Ecology & genomics of climate adaptation: mapping functional genetic variation in wild insect populations" shorturl.at/Vfi8W DM for more info! #conservation #genomics #ecology #biodiversity

Interested in doing a PhD in how extinction processes can inform conservation? Do you see yourself working at the intersection of genomics, museums, conservation and butterfly biology. If so consider applying for the ILESLA PhD programme at Oxford Brookes: www.brookes.ac.uk/courses/rese...

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

Today kicks off the first meeting organised by WG1 at the Senckenberg German Entomological Institute in Müncheberg, Germany 🦋 From Sept. 10th-12th, 19 participants will discuss how to connect with key stakeholders who may benefit from Lepidoptera genomes Stay tuned for updates! #COST10KLepGenomes
