\n\tProject summary (Enterprise Estonia)<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\tXXII European Congress of Lepidopterology<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe University of Tartu, together with Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica and Estonian Naturalists\u2019 Society, are organizing the XXII European Congress of Lepidopterology on June 06-11, 2022, at Laulasmaa, Estonia. This is the first time for this conference to take place in Estonia.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe conference will discuss current trends in contemporary lepidopterology, such as taxonomy (nowadays primarily implying molecular, incl. genomic studies), and various ecological and conservational topics. Special symposia will take place on topics such as\n<\/p>\n
\n- \n\t\tGenomic studies on Lepidoptera in the context of ecology\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tAnalysis of time series from long-term moth monitoring projects\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tThe use of amateur data in lepidopterology\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tThe ecology of forest butterflies\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\tCurrently, the science of lepitopterology is gaining more attention in Estonia, Europe and in the world, largely due to climate change, habitat loss and other anthropogenic impacts influencing insects. At the same time, there are challenges like implementing modern genomic methods in reconstructing phylogenies, and integrating available amateur data. Many professionals, students and amateurs in the field lack the training and support needed to effectively cooperate and exchange knowledge on different methods and approaches.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe conference will help to:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n- \n\t\tcommunicate the latest developments in lepidopterology\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tsupport networking between professionals and amateurs\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tintegrate methods and knowledge for the support of insect conservation in global change\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tfurther advance the quality of lepidopterology in Estonia\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\tIn addition to the scholarly program, there will be various opportunities for exploring the towns of Tallinn, Haapsalu and Paldiski, rural areas in Harjumaa county, the coast of the Baltic Sea, trying out the tastes of Estonia and discovering the culture in the museums of Rocca al Mare, Padise and Pakri, while socializing with old and new colleagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
