PLoS Biology, 2008 The circadian clock plays a vital role in monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) migration by providing the timing component of time-compensated sun compass orientation, a process that is important for successful navigation.

Mixed-Species Gardens Increase Monarch Oviposition without Increasing Top-Down Predation
Insects, 2020 Monarch butterfly populations have declined by over 80% in the last 20 years. Conservation efforts focus on the creation of milkweed habitats to mitigate this decline.

Footprints of Human Migration in the Population Structure of Wild Baker's Yeast
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Humans have a long history of fermenting food and beverages that led to domestication of the baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite their tight companionship with humans, yeast species that are domesticated or pathogenic can also live on trees. Here we used over 300 genomes of S.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects tolerate chemical and metabolic variation in their host plant diet by modulating physiological traits. Insect immune response is one such trait that plays a crucial role in maintaining fitness but can be heavily influenced by variation in host plant quality.

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Short Abstract Coercive animal labour is often state sanctioned as an ecologically friendly mode of sand mining, based on anthropocentric environmental ideology that sees animal bodies as solutions or fixes for often human‐caused environmental crises, even as, incrementally, it causes extreme ecological destruction.

The Importance of Shifting Disturbance Regimes in Monarch Butterfly Decline and Recovery
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The Eastern migratory monarch butterfly has declined in recent decades, partly because widespread adoption of herbicide-resistant corn and soybean has nearly eliminated common milkweed from crop fields in the US Midwest.

Non-target effects of clothianidin on monarch butterflies
The Science of Nature, 2015 Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) frequently consume milkweed in and near agroecosystems and consequently may be exposed to pesticides like neonicotinoids. We conducted a dose response study to determine lethal and sublethal doses of clothianidin using a 36-h exposure scenario.

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.Abstract Biological and physical science infrastructure programs play a critical role in supporting scientific discovery. Even with their foundational roles in the process of science, frequently, support for these programs is threatened, reduced, or eliminated, placing critical data and information at risk of interruption or loss.

Functional Profiles of Phyllosphere and Rhizosphere Metagenomes Differ Across Milkweed Species
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.We characterised milkweed microbiomes using a metagenomics approach to investigate the functional potential of endophytic phyllosphere and rhizosphere communities. We found evidence that the composition of potential PSM genes varied across milkweeds in spp. specific responses, for both phyllospheres and rhizospheres, and in response to monarch feeding.
