Migrating monarch butterflies that mix with year-round residents have higher rates of parasite infection
A study led by ecologists at the University of Georgia has found evidence that migrating monarch butterflies may be risking exposure to high levels of disease at sites where some monarchs no longer migrate but instead breed year-round on patches of an exotic garden plant.
