This small, elegant moth is Tinagma perdicella Zeller, 1839, a species listed as Near Threatened in Finland. Suitable habitats are diminishing due to the overgrowth of meadows and other open areas, as well as a reduction in burnt forest habitats. #NameItToSaveIt

Welcome to Postdoctoral Researcher @elenakochanova.bsky.social, who began working on my project this Monday! The genomic dataset she is assembling is essential for research on the evolutionary history of sister groups #Lepidoptera and #Trichoptera. #museomics @nathist.bsky.social

Paleoentomologist Isabelle Deregnaucourt @isadere.bsky.social started as a postdoc in my group a year ago. 🎂 🥳 Her research on the morphology of extant and fossil #Trichoptera and their sister group #Lepidoptera is key to understanding the evolution of these insect groups. @nathist.bsky.social
