✴️ 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)

We disrupted Nordea
General Meeting while they were voting against the resolution to stop funding fossil fuel expansion.

Nordea is still NOT listening to the Science. Fossil fuels must stay in the ground.

Great kick-off by my team @aplantaginis.bsky.social at #OIKOSFin25! 🎉 @zowioudendijk.bsky.social shared fascinating insights on the evolution of reflex bleeding in Arctiinae, and @theobrown.bsky.social made a compelling case for 'why to pay to be lazy'(—if you’re a toxic butterfly!) 🦋🔥

Gestern habe ich Europas 1. Solar-Radweg besucht. Er steht in Freiburg, ist auf 300m mit 900 PV-Modulen überdacht, liefert Strom für rund 180 Menschen und schützt Radfahrer. Ein tolles Vorzeigeprojekt, dass Verkehrs- & Energiewende vereint. Ich hoffe, er wird vielen Kommunen zur Inspiration dienen❤️
