(1/6) 🦋 We are thrilled to announce the release of the 1,000th reference genome of Lepidoptera species found in Europe!
This goal was reached with the release of Stenoptilia islandicus, also known as the mountain plume moth.
Read the story below!👇🏽

👩🏾‍💻 It’s finally here! 👩🏾‍💻

We’re excited to announce the launch of our official website for Cost Action 10kLepGenomes: www.10klepgenomes.eu 🦋

We invite you to explore and stay updated with our progress in Lepidoptera genomics! 🧬

Our article on the evolution of Apollo butterflies just got published in @ssbbulletin.bsky.social 🦋 We investigate how using total-evidence dating with the two Parnassiinae fossils reshapes their age and historical biogeography. 🌍 @cnrs.bsky.social #ISEM #evolution
