Had a great workshop on population and conservation genomics with Kay Lucek. We revisited key concepts and metrics, and streamlined our ongoing projects in Czechia 🦋

Our lab is celebrating! 🥳 Pedro Ribeiro @pedrogribeiro.bsky.social has excellently defended his PhD thesis: theses.cz/id/9gnm91/

Pedro has used genome data to study the evolution of butterflies and their endosymbiont bacteria Wolbachia.

We wish you all the best, Dr. Pedro! 🦋

A milestone for our lab: Daniel Linke is our first PhD graduate! 🦋🥳
Over 4 years, he studied the evolution of antipredator defences in skipper butterflies, combining experiments in the lab and field in Peru.
All the best in what's coming next, Dani! 🎓

In this interview by the A-magazine (Czech Academy of Sciences), I highlighted our latest research on butterfly evolution, ecology, and conservation. Many thanks @akademievedcr.bsky.social

On our way to the COST 10kLepGenomes meeting in Lund!! A little stop in Copenhagen with Irena Klečková before the great discussions in the frame of Project Psyche @projectpsyche.bsky.social
