Agenda
Limitation to Leverage
Host: Nathan Prescott, Butterfly Conservation Trust
Info: Agricultural land use dominates the UK landscape and has been a principal driver of long-term declines in Lepidoptera, largely through habitat loss and degradation. However, agricultural systems also present the greatest opportunity for large-scale species recovery if managed with a clear understanding of the underlying ecological mechanisms. This talk uses butterflies and moths as model taxa to examine how different agricultural practices either constrain or facilitate population persistence within farmed landscapes.
