Comment le croisement des roses d’Orient et d’Occident au XIXᵉ siècle a totalement changé nos jardins
En Europe, la rose a connu son âge d’or au XIXᵉ siècle : en l’espace de quelques décennies, le nombre de variétés s’est envolé, passant d’environ 100 à près de 8 000.

Back from Kolymbari, and had such an amazing time with an incredible community of lepidopterists #lepgencrete. Great to get the opportunity to talk about what we're up to with @gmrc.bsky.social and spread the word about the #galleriamellonella infection model. Can't wait for #lepgen13 in 2028!

Excited to share my work at the 12th International Workshop on Molecular Biology and Genetics of the Lepidoptera in Crete!
Through population genomics, I uncover a hidden lag phase that preceded the global invasion of a major moth pest.

🚨 New paper out!
We evaluated shotgun sequencing vs rpoB metabarcoding for taxonomic profiling of bacterial communities.
👉 Which method gives better taxonomic resolution & abundance estimates?

Very excited with @tobybarilbio.bsky.social to share this preprint about his latest work on TEs!

We knew that TEs were very pretty active in this global fungal pathogen of wheat.

Now with nearly 2000 Illumina genomes available, we could finally ask questions about historic TE activation waves.
