In July, researchers from our 🦏 Institute participated in the 🦋 Lepidoptera collecting trip to the Italian Alps, part of @projectpsyche.bsky.social and @10klepgenomes.bsky.social - check out the latest article by Glenn Zorpette in @spectrum.ieee.org ⬇️
In July, our reporter traveled to the Italian Alps and to Barcelona, Spain, to observe researchers capturing moths and butterflies and then sequencing their genomes. It was all part of the most ambitious biology project ever: to sequence every species on Earth.

Ancient DNA connects large-scale migration with the spread of Slavs - Nature
Analyses of ancient human DNA show that cultural and political transformations in Central Europe during the second half of the first millennium ce were associated with movements of Slavic populations into Germany, Poland and Croatia.
