Awesome paper! I was inspired to dig out this photo I took in Ecuador >10 years ago, I had no idea they were so rare!

Arctic plants, ichthyosaurs and more! We received funding from Nordforsk for a Nordic network for convergent evolution #NCEN! It is led by @siribirkeland.bsky.social and me, hosted at the Natural History Museum @uio.no and include researchers with amazing work🥳 www.nordforsk.org/projects/nor...

Are you a bachelor's / master's student looking for a thesis project or Erasmus Internship? We’re looking for someone to come and help us collecting data! If you’re interested, feel free to contact me! :)

Exciting biophysics PhD and supervisor dream team 🦋

10 days left to apply! 👀

very exciting! 🥳

Happy to also receive questions about life in Finland - Helsinki is a beautiful place to live and lab members will receive a list of the best bakeries and saunas in town

Funded PhD position available 🎉 Come and work with me in Helsinki to uncover the pathways producing colourful tiger moth wings. Lots of options for genomics, CRISPR, fieldwork, behaviour experiments… Email with questions! jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

Thanks Joe!

Thanks Bibi!

Thank you!

For circadian clocks, colour polymorphisms and nice moths: 11am Weds in room 117 #ESEB2025

Excited to soon start my new role as Academy of Finland Research Fellow 🦋🐛I’ll later be advertising a PhD position on tiger moth colour and genomics, and will be speaking at #ESEB2025 this week if you want an idea of what’s going on!

Happy to play a small role in this nice paper, and hope to visit this region one day!

Interested in a PhD connecting sensory ecology and evolutionary genetics? Applications are now open for a project on the Speciation Genomics of Eye Size Variation in Heliconius Butterflies in our lab at LMU Munich: www.evol.bio.lmu.de/research/mer... Please repost!

🚨New paper on tropical moth pollination 🧵1/8 - What happens in tropical ecosystems when the day ends?🌔🦋 Our new review that @robtrop.bsky.social and I wrote highlights moths’ vital role in pollination and outlines research gaps, challenges and biases. Sharing valued! Link: doi.org/10.1017/S026...

Lovely to be back in Sheffield for the Population Genetics group conference. First day full of colour, butterflies and tea #pgg58

Evolutionary potential and constraints in an aposematic species: Genetic correlations between warning coloration and fitness components in wood tiger moths Abstract. Variability in warning signals is common but remains puzzling since deviations from the most common form should result in a higher number of pred

🧪Why does warning signal variability persist in #aposematic species? Our new @sse-evolution.bsky.social paper explores this using data from 64,741 🤯 A.plantaginis, raised over 25 generations. Spoiler: no evidence that life-history traits constrain warning colours! academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...
