The ecology of butterfly movement

Organized by

Cheryl Schultz

Dispersal biology is a fundamental life history trait that links behavior to populations and links population dynamics to landscape level processes. In this symposium we will explore approaches to dispersal biology which provide insight into our understanding of butterfly systems and into how we can use butterflies as model taxa to understand fundamental ecological processes.
