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!

✴️ NEW PAPER! ✴️ In the beautiful Caucasian mountains of 🇬🇪 lives a moth whose wing colour variation (🔴🟠🟡) has intrigued us for ages. Here (doi.org/10.1111/1744...), we studied whether such variation is associated with 🧬 structure or other traits such as size. (1/3)

Crazy #moth season is here again, thanks to the loving hands of @almaoksanen.bsky.social
First adults from the overwintered generation are eclosing and start laying eggs. Exciting times ahead! Aren’t they gorgeous !? 😍@helsinki.fi @aplantaginis.bsky.social #Viikki

Always bittersweet when a brilliant postdoc leaves the lab @aplantaginis.bsky.social . It would be even sadder if they didn’t move on—but still, we miss you terribly already, Cristina! Good luck for your new position! They are so lucky to have you. 💛 Go shine! #academiclife #postdocfarewell
