In the Life of Monarchs East of the Rockies: Biology and the Great Migration

Thursday, December 7, 2023

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST

Register here!

Dr. Ray Moranz will begin by presenting on the basic aspects of monarch biology, including the life cycle, the use for milkweeds as host plant, the incorporation of cardiac glycosides as a chemical defense, and the vulnerability of this species to various predators, parasites, parasitoids and diseases. However, the heart of the talk will be on monarch migration, and how monarch biology changes in fascinating ways from month to month as they move from one region of North America to another. He will do his best to provide information relevant to people from Saskatchewan to Mexico City, and from Nova Scotia to Cuba, and everywhere in between. He will conclude by talking about some things you can do to help monarchs where you live.

This webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.
