The North American population, which may be listed under the Endangered Species Act, is still plentiful, according to citizen science data.
“We work with a ton of community scientists, and this is another example of the really cool analyses we can do when people go out and look for insects,” says Pelton, who was also not involved in the study. “However, you have to talk about the limitations.”
Most monarchs live only about a month, but the fifth generation lives up to eight months—the time required to fly from Canada to the U.S. to central Mexico.“And that’s really important when we’re trying to think about this migratory insect that can be everywhere, essentially, in the lower 48,” says Pelton. For instance, monarch butterflies also“Overall, these are well-respected authors, and they took a crack at this really big issue with a really solid data set,” says Pelton.
“If these declines continue, you could potentially have a situation where all the remaining monarchs are clinging to a single tree in Mexico,” he says. “At that point, all it would take is one storm to knock them out.” Monarchs possess special gene for highly efficient muscles, which gives them an advantage for their long-distance flights across the continent.Davis adds it’s hard for people to change their perception that monarchs are in trouble, in part because it’s “useful myth” for generating donations to nonprofits.
