 Mexican
Monarch Trip Seven
UA graduate students (Stephanie Hebert, Jackie McKern,
John Riggins, Craig Shelton, Becky Trout, Robin Verble
and Tara Wood) and Dr. Wiedenmann, plus one spouse (Matt
McKern), one boyfriend (Lauren Fryxell) and one roommate
(Michelle Gardner), visited the overwintering sites
of monarch butterflies in the mountains of Central Mexico
in early January. The UA folks were joined by students
and faculty from Purdue University, the University of
Kentucky, the Illinois Natural History Survey, as well
as a Mexican scientist from the research agency INIFAP,
accompanied by his son. Two mountain sites were visited
-- Chincua and El Rosario. Untold numbers of monarchs
(some estimates are > 100 million) spend the night
on Oyamel Fir trees at high elevations, then move downslope
as temperatures warm. Check
out pictures of the trip.
