Since April of this year, frogs that rely on longleaf pine ecosystems have been dying at alarming rates in some regions. Courtesy faculty Stacey Lance is working with collaborators to understand why.
A new study led by a University of Georgia ecologist suggests that monarch butterflies with more white spots are more successful at reaching their long-distance wintering destination.

Monarch butterflies tolerate exposure to neonicotinoids, a widely used class of insecticides, surprisingly well and far better than bees.
