Journal ArticleDOI
Decline of monarch butterflies overwintering in Mexico: is the migratory phenomenon at risk?
Lincoln P. Brower,Orley R. Taylor,Ernest H. Williams,Daniel Slayback,Raúl R. Zubieta,M. Isabel +5 more
TL;DR: For example, during the 2009-2010 overwintering season and following a 15-year downward trend, the total area in Mexico occupied by the eastern North American population of monarch butterflies reached an all-time low as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotopes (δD and δ 13 C) are geographic indicators of natal origins of monarch butterflies in eastern North America
TL;DR: Wing membranes of laboratory and field-reared monarch butterflies were analyzed for their stable-hydrogen and carbon isotope ratios to indicate that natal origins of migratory and wintering monarchs in Mexico can be inferred from the combined δD and δ13C isotopic signatures in their wings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic Insecticidal Corn: Beyond Insecticidal Toxicity to Ecological Complexity
Journal ArticleDOI
Monarch butterfly population decline in North America: identifying the threatening processes.
Wayne E. Thogmartin,Ruscena Wiederholt,Karen S. Oberhauser,Ryan G. Drum,Jay E. Diffendorfer,Sonia Altizer,Orley R. Taylor,John M. Pleasants,Darius J. Semmens,Brice X. Semmens,Richard A. Erickson,Kaitlin Libby,Laura López-Hoffman +12 more
TL;DR: If remaining threats to habitat are mitigated, climate-induced stochastic variation of the eastern migratory population of monarch butterfly around a relatively stationary population size is expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quasi-extinction risk and population targets for the Eastern, migratory population of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus).
Brice X. Semmens,Darius J. Semmens,Wayne E. Thogmartin,Ruscena Wiederholt,Laura López-Hoffman,James E. Diffendorfer,John M. Pleasants,Karen S. Oberhauser,Orley R. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: A novel Bayesian multivariate auto-regressive state-space model is presented to assess quasi-extinction risk and aid in the establishment of a target population size for monarch conservation planning.
