According to a study published in Global Change Biology on Friday, Monarch butterfly breeding populations have remained stable since 1993.
There is a butterfly.
Researchers at the University of Georgia looked at data on 135,000 monarchs from the North American Butterfly Association and found that the monarch population grew during the summer.
Since 1993, the relative abundance of the monarch butterfly has gone up.
Researchers theorize that fewer monarchs are making the trek south due to worsening weather conditions, but summer breeding in North America made up for those losses.
According to Andy Davis, a study author and assistant research scientist at the University of Georgia, monarch butterflies are one of the most widespread butterflies in the world.
Climate change may pose a threat to other butterfly species as well as a host of insects, according to researchers.
There is a perception out there that monarch populations are in trouble, but we found that not to be true. It goes against what people think, but they are doing well.
500 is the total number of people. That is the number of eggs a single female monarch butterfly can lay.
A host of insect species are in decline due to factors such as habitat loss, pesticides and climate change, putting human beings and the broader environment at risk. According to researchers, monarch butterflies have become the face of insect declines. According to reports and studies, western monarchs are on the verge of extinction due to the decreasing number of winter colonies. It is not known if monarch breeding populations are in decline during all seasons. One of the largest and most comprehensive assessments of monarch butterfly breeding patterns has been done by the Global Change Biology study.
The monarch butterflies were denied listing.
