Estimating Overwintering Monarch Butterfly Populations Using Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Concerns about the state of decline of the North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) have prompted their consideration for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Data suggest a substantial decline (> 80%) in overwintering numbers for both

Spatial Synchrony of Monarch Butterflies [PDF]
The American Midland Naturalist, 2006 I examined spatial synchrony in populations of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) during the summer breeding season across North America and while overwintering along the Pacific Coast. Spatial synchrony was observed in all analyses, but was particularly great among eastern summer populations and among overwintering populations on the Pacific Coast.
