Do you prefer the mountain 🏔️ or the beach 🏖️? The Mazarine blue chose both. Genomics uncover hidden diversity and lead to the description of two new subspecies from isolated montane and coastal populations in Iberia.

Last night, 9 participants of the WG2 Field Workshop in Mals hiked to the remote Alte Pforzheimer Hütte 🏔️🌙 They spent the night collecting high-altitude moths for the #COST10KLepGenomes project! 🦋

Even though I am not religious myself, I feel for the loss of #PopeFrancis. His advocacy for nature and human rights resonated beyond religion. I hope his legacy inspires continued efforts toward a more inclusive and caring world inside and out of the catholic church. 🌍🌈
