Vijfde lezing - Francqui Chair - Prof. dr. Hans Van Dyck

In this lecture, Prof. Van Dyck will discuss what butterflies can teach us about conservation. Using butterflies as model organisms, he will highlight insights on habitat quality, landscape use, and the impact of environmental change on biodiversity.

After the lecture, there will be time for discussion and exchange. We hope to see many of you there.
