New paper! First chapter of my PhD🥳 Eodorcadion oryx shows striking mito-nuclear discordance — a hybrid origin followed by secondary mitochondrial capture. Thanks to my supervisor @KarpinskiLech for all the guidance and years Mongolian fieldwork! academic.oup.com/isd/article…

हमारे देश का संविधान आपको शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से विरोध करके, अपनी बात कहने का अधिकार देता है। और दूसरी तरफ है, @IiserMohali, institute of national importance, मेरा alma mater🥲, जो ऐसा दस्तावेज जारी करता है (Point 4)। शायद विज्ञान की पढ़ाई के साथ, संविधान की पढ़ाई नहीं हो पाई।

Thank you honourable sir! We the patriotic youth will strive to rebuild the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association in the footsteps of Chandrasekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh! Jai Hind!
Paying homage to the brave Chandra Shekhar Azad on his birth anniversary. His fearless courage and unwavering patriotism occupy a proud place in the history of India’s freedom struggle. He motivated countless young Indians to devote themselves to the nation. His resolve continues to inspire generations.

Thank you @PolishEvoConf for the amazing conference and thank you @KarpinskiLech for the support.
#PEC2025 was a stimulating and well-organised meeting, with a strong representation of @MiIZ_PAS . I am proud of my PhD student @dasbarsa98 for being recognised for her presentation on introgressive hybridisation in Mongolian #Eodorcadon - part of our project financed by @NCN_PL

What a difficult yet rewarding expedition it has been!! Mongolia has been wonderful ❤️ Thanks Lech for inviting me 😀
What's likely the first-ever Polish-Mongolian-Indian entomological expedition has come to an end. Scientists from @MiIZ_PAS and Mongolian Academy of Sciences explored the unique habitats of the Mongolian Altai and Gobi Altai Mountains, which revealed some of their secrets... 1/2

🤞 Ring species let's go 🎉🎉
Replying to @KarpinskiLech
However, no less important is sampling around the Issyk-Kul, an endorheic saline lake in the western #Tianshan Mountains in eastern Kyrgyzstan (considered the second largest mountain lake in the world), to investigate the potential case of #ringspecies

Another amazing expedition which I missed but can't wait to deal with all the samples 🙌🙌
The last of the three expeditions to Central Asia in the @NCN_PL project is currently underway. Kyrgyzstan is home to phylogenetically important taxa of flightless #Dorcadionini s.l. (#Coleoptera: #Cerambycidae). Collaboration with @manasuniv ...

Cool new ecotype in town!!
New paper just came out! We studied boundaries between species, subspecies, and #ecotype in an evolutionarily young Central Asian cerambycid genus, #Anoplistes. We also present a new ecotype: doi.org/10.1111/zsc.12702
