Monarch butterfly orientation: missing pieces of a magnificent puzzle
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A new hypothesis is presented that the orientation of adult monarchs undergoes a continual clockwise shifting throughout the 3-5 generations, rotating by 360 in the course of the year, consistent with the timing of arrivals and the relative abundance of the successive generations of monarchs throughout eastern North America.
