Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

Assessing risk of Lymantria dispar L. invasion management to monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus)
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Conflicting conservation goals that lead to management tradeoffs are not uncommon in conservation practice. In this study, we explore a potential conflict between the management of a destructive invasive insect pest, Lymantria dispar, and conservation of

Consequences of toxic secondary compounds in nectar for mutualist bees and antagonist butterflies [PDF]
, 2016 Attraction of mutualists and defense against antagonists are critical challenges for most organisms and can be especially acute for plants with pollinating and non?pollinating flower visitors.

A magnetic compass aids monarch butterfly migration [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 Convincing evidence that migrant monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) use a magnetic compass to aid their fall migration has been lacking from the spectacular navigational capabilities of this species. Here we use flight simulator studies to show that migrants indeed possess an inclination magnetic compass to help direct their flight equatorward in ...

Host plants and experimental warming impact fitness and infection outcomes in a migratory butterfly
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Host plant species interacted with temperature treatment to shape monarch survival and infection probabilities. Temperature modified the expected role of tropical milkweed, which did not confer OE resistance to monarchs under elevated temperatures.

Genomic Access to Monarch Migration Using TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Targeted Mutagenesis
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The eastern North American monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is an emerging model system to study the neural, molecular, and genetic basis of animal long-distance migration and animal clockwork mechanisms.

The monarch butterfly controversy: scientific interpretations of a phenomenon [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2001 SummaryThe future development and use of agricultural biotechnology has been challenged by two preliminary studies indicating potential risk to monarch butterfly populations by pollen from corn engineered to express proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis. Likewise, these studies have also challenged the way in which science should be performed, published
