The Shirey Global Change Lab at the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity

The Shirey Lab engages in cross-disciplinary research to understand (a) how patterns of butterfly and moth biodiversity emerge and are maintained, (b) how global change has and will continue to influence these patterns, and (c) how society interacts with biodiversity through policy, knowledge production, and artistic practice.

We use a variety of tools from computer vision to natural language processing and advanced modeling techniques in order to facilitate discovery.
