Neurobiology of Monarch Butterfly Migration.
Studies of the migration of the eastern North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) have revealed mechanisms behind its navigation. The main orientation mechanism uses a time-compensated sun compass during both the migration south and the remigration north. Daylight cues, such as the sun itself and polarized light, are processed through both eyes and integrated through intricate circuit...
متن کاملMonarchBase: the monarch butterfly genome database
The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is emerging as a model organism to study the mechanisms of circadian clocks and animal navigation, and the genetic underpinnings of long-distance migration. The initial assembly of the monarch genome was released in 2011, and the biological interpretation of the genome focused on the butterfly's migration biology. To make the extensive data associated wi...
متن کاملMonarch butterfly spatially discrete advection model.
We study the population cycles of the Monarch butterfly using one of the simplest systems incorporating both migration and local dynamics. The annual migration of the Monarch involves four generations. Members of Generations 1-3 (occasionally 4) migrate from the over-wintering site in Central Mexico to breeding grounds that extend as far north as the Northern United States and Southern Canada. ...
متن کاملModeling the Antenna Configuration of a Digital Very-High Frequency (VHF) Direction Finding System
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) has developed a prototype Digital Very High Frequency super-heterodyne Direction Finding system (DVHF-DF) in support of the U.S. Coast Guard's National Distress Response System Modernization Project (NDRSMP). This receiver, which processes four independent channels of in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) data, offers significant advantages over more conventional ...
