Change in Monarch Butterfly Winter Abundance Over the Past Decade: A Red List Perspective

This paper reanalyzes monarch butterfly winter abundance data using Bayesian models with variable change rates, finding a less negative trend than previously reported.

No broad decline of breeding monarch butterflies in North America: implications for conservation efforts

This study analyzes long-term monarch butterfly data and finds no broad decline in breeding populations, suggesting resilience and potential recovery from winter losses.

Genome resequencing reveals rapid, repeated evolution in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

This study uses genome resequencing to show that the Colorado potato beetle evolves insecticide resistance repeatedly through standing genetic variation, not novel mutations or regulatory changes.

Regional differences in gene regulation may underlie patterns of sensitivity to novel insecticides in Colorado potato beetle

The paper examines regional differences in Colorado potato beetle sensitivity to novel insecticides and finds higher baseline sensitivity in Western USA populations compared to Eastern USA populations.
