@neuroethology Today's afternoon session is opened with a talk by Marjorie Lienard (she/her) from Lund Vision Group about the "Functional basis of #insect visual #opsin #evolution" 🦋


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






After a truly wonderful time at Lund Vision Group Lund University, I am happy to announce my move to Université de Liège. With support from the F.R.S.-FNRS ✨, we will expand the lab’s research 🧬 🧫 on the molecular biology of invertebrate sensory systems #GPCR #opsins #TRP!





Now out iScience journal cell.com/iscience/fullt…

New paper! Using pollen DNA metabarcoding, citizen science and remote sensing we track origin and movements of the massive 2019 #PaintedLady butterfly outbreak. 🦋🌍 #ButterflyMigration #InsectMigration #vanessacardui #PhyloMigrationLab Institut Botànic de Barcelona



Excited for our symposium on "Key Innovations in Insect Evolution" co-moderated by Sarah Kocher and me (Dr. Corrie Moreau). So many outstanding presenters! Be sure to join us this afternoon in Room C-2 #ice2024kyoto
