Nature is wonderfully diverse—and so are people. 🌈 As evolutionary biologists, we know that diversity is one of nature's greatest strengths. Happy #Pride from the Wood Tiger Moth Lab! 🐛🏳️‍🌈 @aplantaginis.bsky.social @helsinki.fi

Came back from the field to find the lab had a new interior design feature—tiger moth mating boxes! Huge thanks to my amazing students and postdocs for keeping everything running. #TigerMoths #Fieldwork #Labwork @aplantaginis.bsky.social

Sonja Koski: Simpanssi sisällämme. Ihastuttava kädellistutkijan kirja lähimmistä sukulaisistamme, kädellisten tutkimuksesta ja siitä kuinka samanlaisia ja erilaisia olemme. Sonja viimeisteli kirjan sairaalassa mutta ei ehtinyt nähdä kirjaa painettuna. Teksti on lämmintä, hauskaa, terävää Sonja❤️‍🩹

Always bittersweet when a brilliant postdoc leaves the lab @aplantaginis.bsky.social . It would be even sadder if they didn’t move on—but still, we miss you terribly already, Cristina! Good luck for your new position! They are so lucky to have you. 💛 Go shine! #academiclife #postdocfarewell

Crazy #moth season is here again, thanks to the loving hands of @almaoksanen.bsky.social First adults from the overwintered generation are eclosing and start laying eggs. Exciting times ahead! Aren’t they gorgeous !? 😍@helsinki.fi @aplantaginis.bsky.social #Viikki

I am the proudest supervisor on planet! My fantastic ex-student @chiaradp.bsky.social won the best thesis prize and gave fantastic keynote presentation in #OIKOSFin25. Great opportunity to see so many ex @aplantaginis.bsky.social group members as well. Thank you #OIKOSFin25 !

Great kick-off by my team @aplantaginis.bsky.social at #OIKOSFin25! 🎉 @zowioudendijk.bsky.social shared fascinating insights on the evolution of reflex bleeding in Arctiinae, and @theobrown.bsky.social made a compelling case for 'why to pay to be lazy'(—if you’re a toxic butterfly!) 🦋🔥

@jtroscianko.bsky.social visited us @aplantaginis.bsky.social in #viikki and gave a fantastic talk about #ALAN and its implications on nocturnal #moths. Packed lecture room and lots of fun discussion. Thanks so much for visiting!

Otin varaslähdön #tieteenpaivat ja kävin kertomassa nuorille eläinten viestinnästä. Sonja Koski kertoi ihmisten ja kesyeläinten välisestä kommunikaatiosta. Tupa oli lähes täynnä ja yleisöstä tuli kiinnostavia kysymyksiä. @Tieteenpaivat @helsinkiuni
