About the event
In this talk, final year PhD student Matt Hayes discusses how he combines fieldwork and studying museum specimens to research butterfly populations from the past and present. Matt's work is partnered with the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire with whom he trials management strategies to see how species can be protected from some of the negative impacts of climate change and extreme weather events. Matt also studies the UK butterfly specimens held at the University Museum of Zoology in Cambridge to see how wildlife of the past can inform modern day conservation action.
