Effects of Cry1Ab-Expressing Corn Anthers on Monarch Butterfly Larvae [PDF]
, 2004 Previous studies suggest that exposure to corn, Zea mays L., anthers expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-derived protein may have adverse effects on the larvae of monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus (L.). To examine the potential effects of Bt anthers

Assessing risk of Lymantria dispar L. invasion management to monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus)
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Conflicting conservation goals that lead to management tradeoffs are not uncommon in conservation practice. In this study, we explore a potential conflict between the management of a destructive invasive insect pest, Lymantria dispar, and conservation of

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.We found that urban wild turkey had a higher probability of occupying a site if it was farther from roads and trails, closer to water, had more available habitat at finer spatial scales, or had lower mean tree height at larger spatial scales Abstract Once extirpated from most of its range because of overharvest and habitat loss in the early 1900s, the ...

Climate-change and mass mortality events in overwintering monarch butterflies
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012 Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) have a unique yearly life cycle, in which successive generations breed and move northward from the southern USA in spring to the northern US and southern Canada by late summer; they overwinter in extremely ...

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 245-258, January 2026.Waterbirds distributed in semi‐arid and arid regions seem to have adapted their behaviour to the availability and seasonality of wetlands, increasing their mobility range. The Marbled Duck Marmaronetta angustirostris is a threatened waterbird that shows trans‐Mediterranean movements but these are poorly known.

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 1-10, January 2026.Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.

Color vision and learning in the monarch butterfly,Danaus plexippus(Nymphalidae)
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011 SUMMARYThe monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is well known for its intimate association with milkweed plants and its incredible multi-generational trans-continental migrations. However, little is known about monarch butterflies' color perception or learning ability, despite the importance of visual information to butterfly behavior in the contexts ...

Temperature and Morphology Affect the Performance and Cost of Flight in Spruce Budworm Females
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Forewing length and wing surface are the key morphological traits to explain the biomechanics of the flight performance in spruce budworm. Large budworm females benefit from more energy reserves that can be allocated daily to flight and a relative energy saving during flight due to their mass.
