Variation in wing characteristics of monarch butterflies during migration: Earlier migrants have redder and more elongated wings
The migration of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) in North America has a number of parallels with long-distance bird migration, including the fact that migratory populations of monarchs have larger and more elongated forewings than residents. These characteristics likely serve to optimize flig...
