Monarch populations in the West face an even greater chance of extinction at 99% by the year 2080. The Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting public comments on its proposal until March 12, 2025.
The number of monarch butterflies in California is in sharp decline this year. This is the second-lowest population recording since tracking began in 1997. Biologists say record-high late summer ...
The latter, at the time of its decision, estimated a decline of 99.9% for the western population since the 1980s and 84% for the larger eastern population since the mid-1990s.
Insects with population trends documented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, for orders Collembola, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata, and Orthoptera. A 2020 meta-analysis found that globally terrestrial insects appear to be declining in abundance at a rate of about 9% per decade, while the abundance of freshwater insects appears to be increasing by 11% per decade.
The Bay checkerspot (Euphydryas editha bayensis) is a butterfly endemic to the San Francisco Bay region of the U.S. state of California. It is a federally threatened species, as a subspecies of Euphydryas editha. Since the 1980s the population of checkerspots, the Euphydryas species and subspecies, has been in serious decline.
Declining butterfly populations have been noticed in many areas of the world, and this phenomenon is consistent with the rapidly decreasing insect populations around the world. At least in the Western United States, this collapse in the number of most species of butterflies has been determined to be driven by global climate change ...
One study in Munich shows sustainable agriculture could be key in preserving butterfly populations. New Research Explains Why the Butterfly Population Is Declining—and How to Possibly Reverse It ...
Dwindling numbers and the following decline of ecosystems will lead to greater loss of biological wealth over time, as without pollinators many plants will not grow or bloom. Many scientists have analyzed data, revealing that the Monarch butterfly population has declined significantly since the 1980s and the 1990s.
