About the event
In this talk, Ed Turner will explore some of the ways that museum collections, like those housed in the Museum of Zoology in Cambridge, can be used to study long-term ecological and evolutionary change in the natural world, and how this can be used to inform modern conservation.
Ed is Chair of the Cambridge Local Group of the Wildlife Trust, Professor of Insect Ecology in Department of Zoology, and Curator of Insects at the Museum of Zoology in Cambridge.
