Density dependence and habitat selection affect overwintering abundance of monarch butterflies at regional and site scales in California

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We analyzed annual overwintering counts in California to understand monarch population fluctuations. Climate and density‐dependent factors explain 64% of annual variability across groves, with density dependence being the primary driver. Within groves, tree characteristics and microclimate significantly influence monarch habitat selection, with ...
