(1/4) Exciting news 📣 Announcing the #COST10KLepGenomes initiative! 🦋🧬
We're leveraging genomic data to tackle biodiversity loss, disentangle Lepidoptera evolution and address climate change impacts on European butterflies and moths.

A single “sexy” gene can help combat one of the most destructive fruit pests. By deleting the gene that lets female moths produce their mating scent, researchers created an “unsexy” moth and showed a way to turn insect attraction into a powerful pest control tool.

We created an ‘unsexy’ moth that could be the key to greener pest control
Scientists have learned how to turn off moths’ sex signals – this could help farmers fight pests without pesticides.

🚀 Second STSM of 10kLepGenomes!
Jakub Tetla (Jagiellonian Univ., Poland) visited @jadrankarota.bsky.social (Lund, Sweden) from 24–26 Sept 2025.
The goal was to integrate museum collections with phylogenomics to study West Palearctic tiger moths.
