Melanie rewarded academy research fellowship
The EEI lab congratulates Melanie Brien for receiving an Academy Research Fellowship from the Research Council of Finland! Her new project will focus on the genetic mechanisms behind color diversity in tiger moths. She will examine both genetic elements that underlie variation in coloration along with evolutionary mechanisms that maintain color polymorphism in the wild.
Congratulations Heta!
We are happy to announce the graduation of our master’s student Heta Lehtonen. Heta worked with us to study how the risk of avian collisions with wind turbines could be reduced by utilizing warning colorations derived from nature. Her thesis can be found here. We wish you good luck with all your future endeavors Heta!
Greetings from Guarda
This week, Johanna Mappes was mentoring students at the 2025 Evolutionary Biology summer school in Guarda, along with Dr. Rosemary Grant, Dr. Peter Grant, Dr. Sebastian Bonhoeffer and Dr. Dieter Ebert. Also our doctoral student Theo Brown attended. The Swiss Alps offered a beautiful backdrop for the summer school, which offered deep scientific discussions and…
