🎉 #Barcoding results from specimens collected in the Mals field-workshop are in — thank you Marko Mutanen!
🧬We confirmed IDs of tricky specimens (mostly microleps), adding 43 new species to @projectpsyche.bsky.social and identifying 14 that need recollection.
Thanks to all who took part!

(2/4) ❓ What are #STSMs?
They’re an initiative to foster scientific collaboration across Europe by funding research visits to labs abroad. The call aims to support researchers and build partnerships to advance the goals of the 10KLepGenomes COST Action for #Lepidoptera research 🦋

🚀 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.

Of course, genomes only make sense in their ecological context 🌿.
The team documented habitats in Shebenik National Park and Mali i Tatë to link environment with evolutionary history.
👉 That concludes the first STSM of #10kLepGenomes — and marks a strong start for the project!
