Monarch Butterfly Migration Moving into the Genetic Era. [PDF]
The genetic architecture and neurogenetics of animal migration remain poorly understood. With a sequenced genome and the establishment of reverse genetic tools, the monarch butterfly has emerged as a promising model to uncover the genetic basis of migratory behavior and associated traits.

Density-dependence in the declining population of the monarch butterfly. [PDF]
AbstractThe Eastern monarch butterfly population has significantly declined over the last two decades creating growing concerns around its conservation status. Here, we showed that the overwintering population exhibited a negative density-dependence (i.e.

An ecological auto-ethnography of a monarch butterfly [PDF]
As I sit in the beautiful sunshine here on the central coast of California, I look around and see that there are far fewer of my family than there used to be. I begin to wonder how much longer my kin will be able to continue our existence. I am a Monarch Butterfly, or Danaus plexippus for those who are more focused on scientific nomenclature, and one ...

Demystifying Monarch Butterfly Migration [PDF]
Every fall, millions of North American monarch butterflies undergo a stunning long-distance migration to reach their overwintering grounds in Mexico. Migration allows the butterflies to escape freezing temperatures and dying host plants, and reduces infections with a virulent parasite.

Neurobiology of Monarch Butterfly Migration [PDF]
Studies of the migration of the eastern North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) have revealed mechanisms behind its navigation. The main orientation mechanism uses a time-compensated sun compass during both the migration south and the remigration north.
