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)

Here is something to distract you from the gloom: What can metagenomics tell us about the taxonomic composition of lichen symbioses? A peer-reviewed version of our analysis of >400 lichen metagenomes from around the world is now out in PLOS Biology. 1/12 doi.org/10.1371/journa…
