Productive engagement with agriculture essential to monarch butterfly conservation
Since the GreenRevolution, the increasingproductivity of agriculture has largely been driven by intensification, i.e. the use of monocultures of selected crop varieties coupled with increased applications of fertilizers and pesticides to increase crop yield. An unfortunate side effect of intensification is that agricultural landscapes around the globe have become increasingly simplified [1]. Wh...
متن کاملScience-Policy-Practice Interfaces: Emergent knowledge and monarch butterfly conservation
We study how knowledge is produced at the intersection of science, environmental policy and public engagement. Based on analysis of monarch butterfly conservation, we critically evaluate models of knowledge production. The monarch butterfly and its migration have engaged science and enchanted people for over a century, and current threats to monarchs catalyze debates and actions. This paper tra...
متن کاملNeurobiology 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. ...
