Read our latest work on comparing the different DNA extraction methods, a great collaboration with Noëlie Molbert : An evaluation of DNA extraction methods on historical and roadkill mammalian specimen nature.com/articles/s4159…

#PhD position in my lab - Deadline is on the 15th of August! I am super excited about the project and collaborations, and can't wait to welcome you in #Helsinki University of Helsinki HiLIFE_Helsinki OEB-ResPrg

How do moths and butterflies see?🦋👀 Our new preprint looks at the evolution of #opsin genes across #Lepidoptera. We uncover fascinating patterns of opsin duplication, translocation, and expression by analysing 219 genomes (most from Darwin Tree of Life) 🔗tinyurl.com/mr2xh7cx

🚨 Job alert! 🚨 Come join us @UU_University as an *Assistant professor in Data-driven Evolution and Biodiversity* I'm happy to discuss if you want more details. Please retweet or repost or whatever... scilifelab.se/career/assista…

We have a postdoc position at UCL to work on computational phylogenomics in collaboration with @asiftamuri. Please see ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Tooted on the other site. Not getting much traction. Please come over there for science! doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

I will soon open several post doc positions in my European Research Council (ERC) Advanced grant. If you're at ICPP2023 and are interested in working on the ecology and evolution of natural plant-microbe communities both above- and below-ground, please reach out. I would be happy to chat more!

Our University opened a call for applications for 2 year postdoctoral fellowships starting in 2024. If you have competitive CV and are interested in studying lepidopteran chromosome biology in my lab, please get in touch. The deadline for application is September 6, 2023.

Did you know that #Butterfly wings are covered by scales of so many different shapes and sizes! Each of these scales are made by single cells. Our latest preprint from the Antonia Monteiro investigates this diversity. 1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Big fish in a small pond? The world’s biggest butterfly 🦋 occupies an area of only 140 square kms. By sequencing its genome, ERC-funded research from Fabien Condamine CNRS 🌍 found low genetic diversity & that it's been endangered for ages. Full story 👉 nature.com/articles/d4158…
