She is made of but cardboard, so her time on this mortal coil will be brief, but I hope she entertains and educates many during her stay.
Wish her luck, everyone.

Another chapter of my thesis is out!
We used genomic data generated from across the range of the Western Balkan highland endemic beetle Calosoma pentheri support the recognition of two distinct species. Biogeography, divergence estimates, phylo & population genetics, etc.

Sylvester et al. studied population structure, gene flow, and demographic history of the charismatic jewel scarab, revealing strong genetic differentiation among most populations, with recent gene flow mediated by male-mediated dispersal.

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 25 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00167-9Species living on mountains are thought to be especially vulnerable to ongoing climate change. This Review explores past and present responses of mountaintop species to climate warming to help to understand mountain species’ vulnerabilities and resilience to future warming.
