Díky moc za čtení předchozího vlákna!A když už jste tak informací chtiví(nebo se o svátcích nudíte) neměli byste chvilku na vyplnění dotazníku kolegům motýlářům? Zjišťují zda jsou chráněné druhy🦋 skutečně ohrožené a nebo se chrání jen proto, že jsou hezké. www.unveiling.eu/en_US/?fbcli...

Merry Christmas to all insect and moth lovers 🎄 @projectpsyche.bsky.social @10klepgenomes.bsky.social

We are hiring! One postdoc and two PhD positions to study (i) species invasions along environmental gradients and (ii) zooplankton-cyanobacteria interactions. See bit.ly/4pcWMIV for details. Application deadlines: 31 Jan 2026 for postdoc, 15 Jan 2026 for both PhD positions. Please repost.

Meet one of our wonderful coordinators, @charlottewright.bsky.social, and discover why generating reference genomes for moths and butterflies is so important!

Kamarádi v Dubném získali do správy rybník. Sloužil pro sportovní rybolov = narvaný rybama, plný živin, bez litorálu, s pár zvířatama. Loni se ho po výlovu nepodařilo napustit a začal hezky zarůstat a vrací se tam postupně život. Jestli chcete přispět na péči tak můžete níže:

The Volf lab team is searching for a PhD student in plant metabolomics and evolution in Salicaceae! Please see details in the link: www.volflab.com/news/phd-pos... The student needs to have a strong background in bioinformatics. Would appreciate it to spread the word! Happy to answer questions.

Some butterflies may seem more beautiful than others. And believe it or not, this is influencing their conservation and researchers' interest! - Take this 10-min test to contribute to a research into our perception of butterfly beauty: www.unveiling.eu/en_US/introd...

New PhD position: Butterfly Evolution at High Elevations 🦋⛰️ The project aims to understand the rapid evolution and adaptation of white butterflies at high elevations. DEADLINE: January 11, 2025 More info: pavelmatos.wordpress.com/join-us/

🎉 #Barcoding results from specimens collected in the Mals field-workshop are in — thank you Marko Mutanen! 🧬We confirmed IDs of tricky specimens (mostly microleps), adding 43 new species to @projectpsyche.bsky.social and identifying 14 that need recollection. Thanks to all who took part!

(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...

(1/4) 📣 Exciting news! 📣 The #10KLepGenomes COST Action has opened the second call for Short Term Scientific Missions #STSMs Keep reading for all the details 👇

👇Check out this article about our work in the Italian Alps and Barcelona, where we’re studying moth and butterfly genomes as part of @projectpsyche.bsky.social ’s goal to sequence every species in Europe 🦋🧬 #10kLepGenomes #Genomics #Lepidoptera

FireCE v Děčíně byla velmi povedená akce, kdy odborníci i praktici hodnotili přírodní požáry z mnoha různých pohledů - prevence, ochrany, příčin i důsledků, vlivu na ekosystémy a možnosti ochranářského managementu 🔥

During our expedition to the Italian Alps with @10klepgenomes.bsky.social this summer, we had @spectrum.ieee.org representatives with us - and the first part of the article is out 🥳 Read more about the efforts of @projectpsyche.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️

WG1 meeting of @10klepgenomes.bsky.social, this time at Senckenberg German Entomological Institute, was again a big success! We discussed strategies to promote the use of Leps genomic data by society - and we agreed on the next steps!

(1/6) 🦋 We are thrilled to announce the release of the 1,000th reference genome of Lepidoptera species found in Europe! This goal was reached with the release of Stenoptilia islandicus, also known as the mountain plume moth. Read the story below!👇🏽

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

After a productive day of work, the WG1 visited the archive and scientific collection of the Senckenberg Institute 👀🦋 All eyes on Maria Sibylla Merian 🥹 #10KLepGenomes

(1/7)🦋 A brief recap from Mals (Malles Venosta, Italy): In mid-July, over 50 experts from 19 European countries gathered for the first field workshop funded by the CA10KLepGenomes, aiming to sequence the genomes of all European Lepidoptera within @projectpsyche.bsky.social. #10KLepGenomes

What an amazing week and experience! Thanks to @10klepgenomes.bsky.social and @projectpsyche.bsky.social for making this experience in the Alps possible! It has been incredible to learn from such an amazing group of professionals! 🦋🧬

Organizujeme vědeckou/aplikovanou konferenci “Oheň v ekosystémech střední Evropy”, která proběhne 6-8. října 2025 v Děčíně a NP České Švýcarsko. Konference bude v českém a anglickém jazyce s překladem. Včasná registrace do 31. 7.! firece.bc.cas.cz/en/cs

We’re organizing a scientific/applied conference “Fire in Central European ecosystems” taking place on 6-8 October in Děčín, Czechia. Register until the end ofJuly! firece.bc.cas.cz/en

The 2022 wildfire in the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks affected over 1,000 hectares. A team of our botanists investigated how different forest types responded to the fire. More about findings on our blog or in Forest Ecology and Management: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Well-deserved treat after @10klepgenomes.bsky.social meeting in the Alps! Where do we go next year? 🤔🇧🇬

@10klepgenomes.bsky.social First WG2 meeting is over. It was an intense week full of light trapping and sample preparations for @projectpsyche.bsky.social, lectures and meeting wonderful people 🤩🦋💡🔬

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 🦋🧬

@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!

We organize a conference about the role of fire 🔥 in the landscape and ecosystems. It will be held in Decin, 6-8 October 2025, near the Bohemian Switzerland NP which experienced a huge fire in 2022. We welcome a wide range of contributions. Register by 8th July. firece.bc.cas.cz
