EEI welcomes Vasiliki Mantzana-Oikonomaki to the group!
We are very happy to announce, that Vasiliki Mantzana-Oikonomaki will be joining our group as a Postdoctoral Researcher this August. Vasiliki is an evolutionary biologist interested in how genetic variation gives rise to phenotypic diversity, particularly in animal colouration, and how these traits shape interactions between species. During her PhD, she investigated the genetic basis…
ISBE with ESB
Michal Barták, Theo Brown, and Eetu Selenius were presenting our group at the International Society for Evolutionary Biology (ISBE) Congress 2026, along with other researchers from the Evolution, Sociality and Behaviour (ESB) network from the University of Helsinki. The congress also offered a chance to catch up with former members of the group, such as…
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.
