New Orthopteroid Records in Michigan Derived from Sampling a Small Field [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) A 1.8 acre sandy field in Isabella County, Michigan was sampled in 1971 and 1972 to obtain data on ecological and chronological distribution of orthopteroid species (Bland and Swayze 1973a,b).

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 525-542, March 2026.ABSTRACT This study seeks to better understand the unique sensemaking assets that rural families weave into their outdoor learning experience while using a location‐based mobile app focused on healthy habitats for solitary bees. The project included mobile augmented reality (AR) technologies, which are increasingly used as educational tools at informal

Evaluating the Migration Mortality Hypothesis Using Monarch Tagging Data
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The decline in the eastern North American population of the monarch butterfly population since the late 1990s has been attributed to the loss of milkweed during the summer breeding season and the consequent reduction in the size of the summer population ...

Effects of Corn and Selected Weed Species on Feeding Behavior of the Stalk Borer, \u3ci\u3ePapaipema Nebris\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Experiments were conducted in an outdoor insectary to examine behavioral interactions between fifth instar stalk borers, Papaiperna nebris, and potential host plant species. Plants tested included 6- and 8-leaf stage corn, Zea mays, and ten weed species (

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 380-392, March 2026.We surveyed 119 stands of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) across an urbanisation gradient to investigate how restored garden habitat might ameliorate the negative effects of urbanisation on specialist herbivores. Surprisingly, we found most herbivores (including the monarch butterfly) had greater occupancy on common milkweed towards an urban centre.

FACETSThe eastern migratory monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) population has declined by ∼84% between 1993 and 2024. Population recovery in the Midwestern United States is limited by the availability of the monarch's main host plant for egg laying—common ...

Strategic mowing of roadside milkweeds increases monarch butterfly oviposition
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 The eastern North American migratory population of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) has declined precipitously due, in part, to the widespread decline of its obligate host plant, milkweed (Asclepias spp.). Linear right-of-ways (e.g.

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 313-324, February 2026.Despite the minimal annual temperature variation and the widespread distribution of potential year‐round habitats in Ghana, the migratory potential of the local fall armyworm remains strong and is indistinguishable from that of the fall armyworm in China, which undergo seasonal migration.

Patterns of Nectar Production in Asclepias curassavica (Apocynaceae))
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2019 Milkweeds are important nectar resources for insects in the New World. In addition, nectar is the germination medium for milkweed pollen. This study is the first controlled, greenhouse examination of patterns of nectar production in a milkweed species ...
