Scientists are strapping solar-powered backpacks onto monarch butterflies to uncover the secrets of their disappearing migration routes
3+ week, 3+ day ago (551+ words) Along the California coast each November, researchers crouch in the early-morning chill to do something that sounds almost impossible: carefully gluing tiny radio transmitters onto the backs of monarch butterflies. The migratory monarch was listed as endangered in 2022, yet scientists…...
At a wind farm with 75 turbines in north Texas, acoustic monitors ran for 6 years and caught all 6 bat species in the act of hunting the moths that destroy crops

A single winter cut California's western monarchs by 96 percent to 9,119 butterflies, and a national survey valued that orange migrant at up to 6.6 billion dollars
