Are you a bachelor's / master's student looking for a thesis project or Erasmus Internship? We’re looking for someone to come and help us collecting data! If you’re interested, feel free to contact me! :)
Exciting biophysics PhD and supervisor dream team 🦋
10 days left to apply! 👀
very exciting! 🥳
Happy to also receive questions about life in Finland - Helsinki is a beautiful place to live and lab members will receive a list of the best bakeries and saunas in town

For circadian clocks, colour polymorphisms and nice moths: 11am Weds in room 117 #ESEB2025
Excited to soon start my new role as Academy of Finland Research Fellow 🦋🐛I’ll later be advertising a PhD position on tiger moth colour and genomics, and will be speaking at #ESEB2025 this week if you want an idea of what’s going on!
Happy to play a small role in this nice paper, and hope to visit this region one day!
Interested in a PhD connecting sensory ecology and evolutionary genetics? Applications are now open for a project on the Speciation Genomics of Eye Size Variation in Heliconius Butterflies in our lab at LMU Munich: www.evol.bio.lmu.de/research/mer... Please repost!
🚨New paper on tropical moth pollination 🧵1/8 - What happens in tropical ecosystems when the day ends?🌔🦋 Our new review that @robtrop.bsky.social and I wrote highlights moths’ vital role in pollination and outlines research gaps, challenges and biases. Sharing valued! Link: doi.org/10.1017/S026...
Lovely to be back in Sheffield for the Population Genetics group conference. First day full of colour, butterflies and tea #pgg58
🧪Why does warning signal variability persist in #aposematic species? Our new @sse-evolution.bsky.social paper explores this using data from 64,741 🤯 A.plantaginis, raised over 25 generations. Spoiler: no evidence that life-history traits constrain warning colours! academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...
Hey Lepidoptera folks, here’s a Starter Pack of Lepidopterologists! If you want to be added (or removed), just @ me with your favourite: #buttetflies? #moths? go.bsky.app/U3HPgpW
Please re-post: I have a postdoc position open! Helsinki is great and working environment is fantastic! #colours #polymorphism #behavior #experiments #lepidoptera jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...
Very happy to be at my first ISBE and my first visit to Australia! Will be around tonight with my poster (that printed the wrong colour 🙈) #ISBE2024
Interested in planning and conducting research related to wild animal resilience (broadly defined)? We're recruiting a Research Coordinator or Planner in wild animal experimentation here in Biological & Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki! Applications due Jan 19.
For my first post I'll share our recent paper (& accompanying doodle) on the genetics of polymorphic colour in male wood tiger moths 🦋🧬✂️ elifesciences.org/articles/80116
