During our expedition to the Italian Alps with @10klepgenomes.bsky.social this summer, we had @spectrum.ieee.org representatives with us - and the first part of the article is out 🥳 Read more about the efforts of @projectpsyche.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️

WG1 meeting of @10klepgenomes.bsky.social, this time at Senckenberg German Entomological Institute, was again a big success! We discussed strategies to promote the use of Leps genomic data by society - and we agreed on the next steps!

(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.

Today kicks off the first meeting organised by WG1 at the Senckenberg German Entomological Institute in Müncheberg, Germany 🦋

From Sept. 10th-12th, 19 participants will discuss how to connect with key stakeholders who may benefit from Lepidoptera genomes

Stay tuned for updates!

The 2022 wildfire in the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks affected over 1,000 hectares. A team of our botanists investigated how different forest types responded to the fire. More about findings on our blog or in Forest Ecology and Management: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Well-deserved treat after @10klepgenomes.bsky.social meeting in the Alps! Where do we go next year? 🤔🇧🇬

@10klepgenomes.bsky.social First WG2 meeting is over. It was an intense week full of light trapping and sample preparations for @projectpsyche.bsky.social, lectures and meeting wonderful people 🤩🦋💡🔬

First field trip of the #WG2 has come to an end! We will share some of the most relevant moments of this fantastic week! Stay tuned 🦋🧬

@10klepgenomes.bsky.social
is spending this week in beautiful Vinschgau valley in South Tyrol, collecting as many new species for @projectpsyche.bsky.social as possible!
