Did you know that male butterflies can detect a single molecule of a female’s pheromone from several kilometers away? In this lecture, we will explore the fascinating world of insect communication, including chemical signals, pheromones, vibrations, sounds, colors, and patterns. You will learn how these modalities play a crucial role in survival, reproduction, and biodiversity conservation. 

We will also present the E-NAT2CARE project (Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia 2021–2027), which investigates innovative pheromone-based methods for monitoring endangered species populations and enhancing conservation strategies.

Lecturer: Alenka Žunič Kosi, National Institute of Biology 
When: Friday, January 31, at 13:15 h 
Where: Livade Campus, Livade 4, Izola, Lecture Hall SIGMA 
Language: The lecture will be held in English.
