Comment le croisement des roses d’Orient et d’Occident au XIXᵉ siècle a totalement changé nos jardins En Europe, la rose a connu son âge d’or au XIXᵉ siècle : en l’espace de quelques décennies, le nombre de variétés s’est envolé, passant d’environ 100 à près de 8 000.

Back from Kolymbari, and had such an amazing time with an incredible community of lepidopterists #lepgencrete. Great to get the opportunity to talk about what we're up to with @gmrc.bsky.social and spread the word about the #galleriamellonella infection model. Can't wait for #lepgen13 in 2028!

The 12th international Workshop on molecular biology and genetics of the Lepidoptera REGISTRATION NOW OPEN We are delighted to invite you to join us at the Orthodox Academy of Crete, set just outside the lovely Cretan village Kolymbari, for a stimulating and enriching event. With 150 ...

The Lepidoptera Genomics meeting July6-12 in Crete is going to be amazing and they extended the abstract deadline.
I wish I could go (most of the team is going)

Excited to share my work at the 12th International Workshop on Molecular Biology and Genetics of the Lepidoptera in Crete!
Through population genomics, I uncover a hidden lag phase that preceded the global invasion of a major moth pest.

The evaluation of shotgun sequencing and rpoB metabarcoding for taxonomic profiling of bacterial communities - BMC Microbiology Background The importance of microbial community profiling has been increasingly recognized in biological and environmental research. While metabarcoding has been widely used for such analysis by targ...

🚨 New paper out!
We evaluated shotgun sequencing vs rpoB metabarcoding for taxonomic profiling of bacterial communities.
👉 Which method gives better taxonomic resolution & abundance estimates?

Happy to be in Crete for the 12th international workshop on molecular biology and genetics of Lepidoptera at the Orthodox academy of Crete !

Happy to be in Crete for the 12th international workshop on molecular biology and genetics of Lepidoptera at the Orthodox academy of Crete !

Very happy to have been able to attend and present my work at last week's GRC Animal-Microbe symbiosis. Fascinating speakers, great meetings and plenty of interesting conversations !

Very excited with @tobybarilbio.bsky.social to share this preprint about his latest work on TEs!

We knew that TEs were very pretty active in this global fungal pathogen of wheat.

Now with nearly 2000 Illumina genomes available, we could finally ask questions about historic TE activation waves.

Divergent Selection Promotes Intraspecific Genomic Differentiation in Spodoptera littoralis With Possible Involvement in Detoxification Population genomics analysis of Spodoptera littoralis reveals whole genome differentiation based on geographic sampling in Egypt, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southern Europe. We showed that this differen...
