(1/4) Exciting news 📣 Announcing the #COST10KLepGenomes initiative! 🦋🧬 We're leveraging genomic data to tackle biodiversity loss, disentangle Lepidoptera evolution and address climate change impacts on European butterflies and moths.

📣What an incredible second day! Participants split into two tracks and dove straight into the command line running population genomics statistics hands-on. The terminals were flying! 💻 #10kLepGenomes #Lepidoptera #Genomics #LepEU

VOTE NOW for Britain's Favourite Butterfly! 🦋 Flashy, adventurous or fantastically freaky. The UK is home to 60 species of butterfly, each with their own unique story. But who will be crowned the nation's favourite? 👑 Vote for your favourite 👉 britainsfavouritebutterfly.co.uk?utm_source=S...

As we prepare for a 2nd get-together, the report of the 1st in-person workshop of LepEU, a consortium to study population genomics of European Lepidoptera, is just out. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Thanks to COST Action @10klepgenomes.bsky.social for funding for these workshops.

LepEU: A Consortium to Study the Population Genomics of Butterflies and Moths Across Europe

LepEU, the European Lepidopteran Population Genomics Consortium, was launched in 2023 to coordinate continental-scale collections and generate population-level genomic data for butterflies and moths ...

I'm very excited that our paper on Project Psyche is now published! 🦋🧬 Over the last two years we've built an incredible community & already made huge progress. Read about this & how @projectpsyche.bsky.social will drive exciting and collaborative science here: www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

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)

Unveiling - Home

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
