Program Symposium

Understanding and Responding to Insect Declines

Setting conservation priorities for insects in the context of diverse and interacting stressors

Tuesday, November 2, 2021
4:42 PM – 4:57 PM MT
Location: Colorado Convention Center, Four Seasons Ballroom 1
In-Person Livestream
The great diversity of insects, complex life histories and volatile population dynamics al combine to pose numerous challenges for conservation biologists and land managers seeking to understand and address insect declines. We are bringing together multiple lines of evidence and datasets to prioritize butterflies for conservation attention across the eleven states of the Western US. We discuss the impacts of climate change as a pervasive threat in our region, and consider strategies for identifying groups of sensitive species. It is our hope that the results will be of interest not only to professional conservation biologists and managers, but also to the general public that shows ever-increasing interest in the status of pollinators and other groups of insects.
