Monarch Butterfly and Habitat Loss Monarchs might as well be the most advantageous species on the planet considering they help with pollinating plants which produce our crops and provides a food source for birds and small reptiles. However, the number of monarchs is decreasing from habitat loss, climate change, chemical pollutants, poaching/farming, and public awareness. Herbicide is their biggest threat because it kills their main dish, which is milkweed. Remarkably, people from Science…

environmental organization called Monarch Watch. Monarch Watch focuses on helping monarch butterflies, their habitat, and tracking their fall migration. Monarch butterflies are important to save because they provide biodiversity, have educational and scientific value, and are aesthetically pleasing. I help Monarch Watch by raising all the monarch caterpillars and eggs I find and tagging the adult butterflies before sending them on their annual migration to Mexico. Monarch Watch collects these…

During my investigation into the patch connections design, I utilized the butterfly simulation model. I used the simulation model to test the sensitivity of the three different patch connections (enlargement, Corridors, and stepping stones) when the death probability (NP) was adjusted up or down. The simulation demonstrated, through many runs, how the population of Fenders blue butterflies would react within the different types of patches with different death rates outside the patches. As I…

I am what people like to call a “social butterfly”. I have always liked to be in the center of everything. Meeting new people and gaining new experiences is what I live for.

The Mirabel sisters develop their personalities throughout the chapters; they become brave, confident, and…

first science experiment in elementary school. The data collection of the different environment that the monarch butterfly evolution pace was the most exciting moment of my life. I got to see a type of species go from a little caterpillar to a full grown butterfly, which drew me into science. After that experience, I started to questions why, why does this butterfly change into a butterfly, and are they dying out such as the ones that are extinct. From that time point on, I not only have been…

The second type of transgression against more conservative, traditional Chinese values is the portrayal of gender fluidity in The Butterfly Lovers. It is no new concept or phenomenon in many other parts of the world. For example, gender variant individuals, known as two-spirit people, are a part of the indigenous Native community. Two-spirit individuals often hold important shaman and ritual roles in their society (Kimmel, 2000). These individuals are born biologically a specific sex, but can…

albums, and although all are widely acclaimed, the one that is going to be focused on in this essay is his third album titled, To Pimp a Butterfly. There are a total of sixteen songs on the album, however I will only be concentrating on three songs: “King Kunta”, “The Blacker the Berry” and “Complexion (A Zulu Love).” Kendrick Lamar’s album, To Pimp a Butterfly” is more than just a generic album for listening pleasure, but a symbol of black resistance and protest that addresses the negative…
