Congratulations to @rindom88.bsky.social, our genome notes writer of the month!

Had a great week bringing together butterfly genome researchers, conservation practitioners and national agencies 🦋🧬🌱 We explored joint funding opportunities and how to apply research to the urgent challenge of biodiversity loss. The event was part of the @10klepgenomes.bsky.social COST Action

Congratulations to Jakub Opelka (Biology Centre CAS, Budweis, Czechia)! #Genomics #Lepidoptera #ProjectPsyche

It’s that time of year again! If you’re an early career researcher (anywhere) working on systematics (of anything), join us on November 13th for YSF2026 This is a friendly forum showcasing the brightest young talent globally. Abstract deadline 24 Oct.

Systematics Association@systassn.bsky.social · last wk.

Join us Nov 13th for #YSF2026, a completely free, online conference where postgraduate students (and other early career researchers) present their work on systematics, taxonomy and/or phylogenetics. Abstract submission closes Oct 24th! REGISTER: tinyurl.com/bdzxt2ht systass.org/young-system...

Last day of the meeting wrapped up with hands-on activities and great discussions on science communication, led by science communicator Pavla Hubálková 🦋 #10kLepGenomes #Lepidoptera #Genomics

3rd Day: Teams on brainstorming sessions workimg on preparing great project proposals! 🦋 @10klepgenomes.bsky.social

📣 During the second session, attendees gained hand-on experience working with real case conservation studies applying genomic tools. What a successful experience!🦋 #10kLepGenomes #Lepidoptera #Genomics

🦋Day 2 of in Blanský les showed the power of sustainable management. We saw how landscape management is key to preserve biodiversity. A great model for Lepidoptera conservation! #10kLepGenomes #Lepidoptera #Genomics

📣What an incredible first day! Participants split into two tracks and dove straight into the definition of strategies to support the application of genomic approaches to the conservation of Lepidoptera 🦋 #10kLepGenomes #Lepidoptera #Genomics #LepEU

Happy to join the @10klepgenomes.bsky.social event on Butterfly Conservation Genomics 🦋!

🚀🚀This week marks the start of the second meeting organised by WG1! 🦋⛰️ From September 8th-11th, participants will be attending the Conservation genomics and science communication workshop in České Budějovice, CR, to contribute to the #10KLepGenomes initiative. Stay tuned for updates! 👇

As part of our @10klepgenomes.bsky.social COST Action, we will host discussions among 40 researchers, conservation practitioners, and representatives of NGOs and nature conservation agencies from 13 countries across Europe. So excited for this meeting!! 🤩

Together with Irča Klečková, we're organising a workshop on conservation genomics and science communication: bridging population genomics and conservation practice (8-11 September, 2026). First participant arriving at the Biology Centre CAS, @kaybiodiversity.bsky.social

Exciting to attend the @10klepgenomes.bsky.social event here in České Budějovice, it has been a long time since I have been here :)

🦋🇧🇬 The expedition was led by the National Museum of Natural History at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, bringing together three collaborating initiatives: @projectpsyche.bsky.social, @10klepgenomes.bsky.social , and LepEU.

We are strengthening the research efforts in Türkiye within COST Action CA23122 – 10kLepGenomes through TR-LepGen: Genomic Characterization of Türkiye’s Lepidoptera Biodiversity, supported by the TÜBİTAK 2515 Programme. 🦋 @10klepgenomes.bsky.social

The data generated through the project will be aligned with the 10kLepGenomes network and its standards, strengthening the representation of Türkiye’s Lepidoptera diversity in European genomic research. @10klepgenomes.bsky.social

Huzzah! Today begins the Big Butterfly Count, a huge effort to collect data by @savebutterflies.bsky.social. Need help understanding why study butterflies? I interviewed @charlottewright.bsky.social co-lead of @projectpsyche.bsky.social and learned heaps. sangerinstitute.blog/2025/12/11/f...

(1/3) At #SMBE2026 in Copenhagen! 🧬🦋 Part of our team @10klepgenomes.bsky.social #LepEU is here for a few days of great talks on molecular evolution and population genomics! #Lepidoptera #Genomics #ProjectPsyche

Enjoying an excellent Entomology Congress #ECE2026 in Tours, France. Jean-Michel Drezen and I hosted a genomics symposium. Lots of @projectpsyche.bsky.social members here. @pedrogribeiro.bsky.social gave an excellent talk on the @10klepgenomes.bsky.social COST Action.

If you are interested in the sequencing and analysis of the genomes of European butterflies and moths, do visit the @10klepgenomes.bsky.social website and get in touch! It is a great opportunity to be part of an exciting community driving timely and interesting research! 10klepgenomes.eu

@pedrogribeiro.bsky.social gave a wonderful talk about our initiative with @projectpsyche.bsky.social and #LepEU at @ece2026tours.bsky.social panel dedicated to COST Actions. Our goal is to sequence reference genomes from all European Lepidoptera. #10kLepGenomes #Lepidoptera #ECE2026Tours

Here at the @ece2026tours.bsky.social to talk about the amazing @10klepgenomes.bsky.social COST Action and how we are collaborating with @projectpsyche.bsky.social and #LepEU to obtain reference genomes of all European moths and butterflies!

🦋🔬Unforgettable scientific expedition with @10klepgenomes.bsky.social in Vlahi 🇧🇬 A week of 🦋, breathtaking views ⛰️, suspiciously narrow mountain roads 🚙😅, dry ice ❄️, delicious banica 🥧,🍯 and 🐑🧀, stunning Melnik Pyramids 🌄, relaxing mineral pools 🐳 and the never-ending hunt for butterfly genomes🧬🧬🥰

Bravísimo amigo!!!!!
