Each month, Professor Jared Shaw with the UC Davis Department of Chemistry hosts the Davis Science Café, featuring scientists who are studying some of today’s cutting edge topics. This month’s speaker is Prof. Arthur Shapiro in the UC Davis Department of Evolution and Ecology who studies butterfly population trends. Invite a friend, and get here early to grab a seat at G. Street Wunderbar. Let’s drink to science!
Abstract: I’ve been monitoring California butterflies since 1972. That gives me a huge database for assessing the ecological impacts of global change. Lately, those data and the inferences we’ve drawn from them are getting a lot of attention world-wide. What are they telling us?
