About the event

The Conference Biology of Butterflies (BOB) has grown since the 1970s to become the worlds leading forum on Lepidoptera. For the first time, BOB will cross the South Atlantic to interact directly with the extraordinary neotropical fauna, in a special joint edition with the Neotropical Lepidoptera Meeting (ELEN), a key regional event since 2005, which returns to its origins in Campinas.

Now, we are pleased to announce a new edition of both events, the X Biology of Butterflies (X-BOB) and the IX Neotropical Lepidoptera Meeting (IX-ELEN) , which will be carried out March 30 to April 3, 2027 in Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil.

This joint edition represents a historic milestone for global lepidopterology. Bringing BOB to Brazil elevates research on lepidoptera in Latin America and highlights the Neotropical region as one of the most vibrant biodiversity hotspots on the planet.

Do not miss this historic event, join us in Brazil to share new discoveries, form transformative partnerships, or simply enjoy the incredible diversity of butterflies and moths in our welcoming Latin environment... All these are reasons why its presence is fundamental for the advancement of lepidopterology and global biodiversity research!
