3rd Day: Teams on brainstorming sessions workimg on preparing great project proposals! 🦋 @10klepgenomes.bsky.social
10kLepGenomes@10klepgenomes.bsky.social · 3w ago📣 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
2nd Day: Hands on practice, seeing a well managed landscape 🦋! @10klepgenomes.bsky.social
10kLepGenomes@10klepgenomes.bsky.social · 3w ago🦋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
Happy to join the @10klepgenomes.bsky.social event on Butterfly Conservation Genomics 🦋!
10kLepGenomes@10klepgenomes.bsky.social · 4w ago🚀🚀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.

An extraordinary spider colony was found in a cave on the Albania-Greece border. Comprising over 100,000 spiders, the network spans a surface area of over 100 m². This discovery was published in our journal Subterranean Biology: doi.org/10.3897/subt... Video by @vrenozina.bsky.social
A spider colony of 69,000 individuals of Tegenaria domestica and more than 42,000 of Prinerigone vagans, covering a surface area of over 100 m², was found in Sulfur Cave, a chemoautotrophic sulfidic ecosystem located on the Albania-Greece border. See more here: doi.org/10.3897/subt...
Ever wondered if #colonial spider webs can exist... in a #Sulfur #Cave?! Yes, it’s real—and it is between Albania🇦🇱 and Greece🇬🇷! This study reveals how #Tegenaria domestica form dense colonies in a toxic cave ecosystem—supported by sulfur-based chemoautotrophic life. 🕷🕸

An amazing meeting with excellent outcomes from dynamic brainstorming sessions that went beyond expectations — a big thanks to the organizers, moderator and all participants! @10klepgenomes.bsky.social
Alena Sucháčková@alenasuchackova.bsky.social · last yr.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!
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
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
(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
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 🦋🧬
From beautiful #moth trapping locations to sampling Alpine meadows filled with butterflies 🦋 and learning about sample preparation 🧬, I had the best week on the @10klepgenomes.bsky.social field trip! Huge thanks to all the entomologists, #COST10KLepGenomes, #LepEu and @projectpsyche.bsky.social!
