Acta Biotheoretica, 1982 This paper presents a model that generates testable hypotheses concerning the evolution of long-range migratory behavior in the Monarch Butterfly,Danaus plexippus and the general absence of such behavior in a related form, the Queen,D. gilippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Danainae).

Sex Pheromone of the Queen Butterfly: Electroantennogram Responses
Science, 1969 Olfactory receptor responses (electroantennograms) were recorded from antennae of danaid butterflies. Antennae of male and female queen butterflies ( Danaus gilippus berenice ) respond equally strongly to the hairpencil of queen males, to its crude extract, and to one of its two identified secretory components (the ...

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1969 Abstract The chemo-stimulatory role of the male hair-pencils in the courtship behaviour of the Queen butterfly has been quantified experimentally in the natural habitat. Approximately 600 individuals were studied. Courtship success is substantially reduced either by removal of the male hair-pencils or by blocking the chemoreceptors on the female ...

The structure of the antennae of the Florida Queen butterfly, Danaus gilippus berenice (Cramer)
Journal of Morphology, 1968 AbstractInterest in the structure of the antennae of the Florida Queen butterfly arises from the finding that a pheromone is active in their courtship. Light and electron microscopic techniques were used to study the sensilla on the antennae and three types of sensilla with perforated walls were identified.

Variation in Palatability of Queen Butterflies (Danaus Gilippus) and Implications Regarding Mimicry
Ecology, 1994 This study documents the existence of a food plant related palatability spectrum in Florida queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus). Abdomens of butterflies reared on four asclepiad food plants differed significantly in cardenolide content and palatability to a generalist avian predator (Red—winged Blackbird).

Sabotaging Behavior and Decision-Making in Larvae of the Queen Butterfly Danaus gilippus
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2015 Sabotaging behavior and decision-making during ontogeny in herbivorous insects remain largely underappreciated. Insects that use hosts bearing articulated laticifers would be expected to cut trenches to deactivate this plant defense. Contrary to this expectation, larvae of Danaus erippus display vein cutting when feeding on Asclepias curassavica, a ...

Palatability of aposematic queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus) feeding onSarcostemma clausum (Asclepiadaceae) in Florida [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1991 Queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus) are generally considered unpalatable to predators because they sequester and store toxic cardenolides from their larval food plants. However, a major queen food plant in Florida, the asclepiadaceous vineSarcostemma clausum, is shown here to be a very poor cardenolide source, and queens reared on this plant contain no

Ecology, 1962 Daia us plexippus (Linne) and Danauis gilippus berenice (Cramer), the Monarch and Queen butterflies, overlap broadly in their ecological requirements (Brower 1961a). Further evidence of their similarity was indicated by comparative laboratory analyses of egg cannibalism (Brower 1961b), developmental rates, and food consumption (Brower in prep ...
