Monarch butterflies reared under autumn‐like conditions have more efficient flight and lower post‐flight metabolism

2020-06-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Many migratory animals undergo physiological and behavioural changes to prepare for and sustain long‐distance movements. Because insect migrations are common and diverse, studies that examine how migratory insects meet the energetic demands of long‐distance movements are badly needed. 2. Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) migrate up to 4000 km annually from eastern North America to wintering sites in centra...
