@nicolasdussex.bsky.social et al. investigate the genomic basis of adaptation in the Svalbard reindeer, an endemic subspecies that colonized the High Arctic ~7,000 years ago, adapting to extreme cold, day length changes, and resource scarcity. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf160 #genome #evolution

My MSc. thesis is published on DiVa in case anyone is interested in some butterfly research!🦋 www.diva-portal.org/smash/record...

Funded PhD position available 🎉 Come and work with me in Helsinki to uncover the pathways producing colourful tiger moth wings. Lots of options for genomics, CRISPR, fieldwork, behaviour experiments… Email with questions! jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

New paper in @pnas.org — and this is my favourite one out of my PhD thesis! Field transplants of wall brown butterflies show life history evolution during climate change-driven range expansion, BUT non-evolving winter tolerance still sets the range limit.🧵1/12. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

(1) Happy to report that a few weeks ago I successfully defended my MSc thesis about parallel evolution of adaptation in butterflies at @uu.se, and it went extremely well! I now finalized my manuscript and it will be out in DiVA portal soon for anyone interested in reading my research!🦋

I feel honored that our work: "On the origin of an insular hybrid butterfly lineage" was picked as "Editor's choice" and that my picture of a mating couple (🧡🤎) covers the latest issue of Evolution @journal-evo.bsky.social. Link to paper: academic.oup.com/evolut/artic... (1/8)

Let’s introduce Art in Science! This is my favourite illustration piece, and a short, fast forward video of its process. I’m currently experimenting on my study species, the Wall Brown butterfly, hopefully to include it at the cover of my thesis project. PS. Looks even better with colour!

In this paper, we present the Sarah from a 3-year common garden experiment, including a food manipulation experiment during hand rearing. Tons of work by many people.

There is nothing noble about staying silent under the guise of being apolitical when faced with fascist symbolism and the destruction of scientific institutions. 🧪 #AcademicSky www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I’m extremely grateful to announce that I won the best poster competition of the Swedish @nordicoikos.bsky.social conference! I couldn’t have imagined that my first scientific poster ever would be so good to win the first place in a competition among so many wonderful other projects! Thank you 🧡🦋

🚨 Call for abstracts 🚨 Abstract submission for 17th Ecology & Behaviour annual meeting is now open until March 28th! To submit: ➡️ ecobhvr2025.sciencesconf.org?forward-acti... ➡️ Create an account ➡️ "New submission" ➡️ Fill in the requested information ➡️ Submit

My first scientific poster presentation from my MSc thesis at the Swedish Nordic Society Oikos conference!! Come and check it out tomorrow and on Wednesday (4-5th February) at the Natural History museum in Stockholm! So excited 🦋

This 👇. Specifically, for people in the quantitative sciences, I recommend: - Have a well-tended ORCID - GitHub/GitLab repository with some of your research outputs - Personal webpage (e.g. quarto) on a static hosting service such as GitHub/GitLab Pages, Netlify, Posit Connect, ...

🚨 New paper published in... Nature 😱 I never thought that I would write these words, but here is a Nature-paper that I contributed to. We found global loss in genetic diversity. But conservation strategies may maintain or increase genetic diversity. Full paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters. Find out more in the Science news here www.science.org/content/arti... #Consgen

🌍🌡️ Dangerous temperatures could kill 50% more Europeans by 2100 A new study projects a net increase of 80,000 deaths annually in the hottest scenario, with milder winters failing to redress the balance. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ClimateCrisis #PublicHealth 🧪 #SciComm

Pretty much my entire job is funded by federal grants. My projects relate to the effects of climate change on birds, multiple long-term demographics studies that show which birds are declining and which are doing well, & now a newer project on under-studied endangered tropical island avifauna 🧪🪶👩‍🔬
