Predicting monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) movement and egg-laying with a spatially-explicit agent-based model: The role of monarch perceptual range and spatial memory (2018, background): “Increasing summer reproductive success in the 3 Midwest United States has been identified as a high priority for monarch conservation (Oberhauser et al., 2017; Flockhart et al., 2015).”
Citizen science monitoring demonstrates dramatic declines of monarch butterflies in western North America (2017, unknown): “Although monarchs have been extensively studied in many ways, some key vital rates are poorly understood, even for the well-studied eastern population (Flockhart et al., 2015; Oberhauser et al., 2017).”
Restoring monarch butterfly habitat in the Midwestern US: ‘all hands on deck’ (2017, background): “For much of the twentieth century, a large majority of monarchs produced in the eastern US likely originated from milkweed growing in agricultural fields [9].”
