European butterflies have been studied intensely by scientists and naturalists for centuries. It is therefore with some surprise that we wish to report the discovery of a European hybrid lineage of butterflies that has persisted for more than 50,000 years. (THREAD)

PopGenomics twitter, I am looking for examples of papers where the authors fit a demographic model to a pair of species and the maximum likelihood estimate of migration rate was 0. Anyone have any suggestions? There should be loads... (retweets appreciated)

New preprint! Using >200 chromosomal genomes, we reconstruct the chromosomes of the ancestral Lepidopteran and show that for over 250 million years of evolution, butterfly and moth genomes have largely been shaped by fusions involving small autosomes and the sex chromosome 🦋🧬
