To transport pollen, many plants depend on the wind, some on water, but many depend on animals, particularly on insects, which are rewarded with their sweet nectar while distributing pollen from flower to flower.
Over time, plants evolved and developed incredible strategies to attract insects, beginning with their colors and fragrances.

Over time, science on the exceptional migration of Monarch Butterflies has evolved and taken a significant step forward.
Last week, the Project Monarch Collaboration, a Trinational Research and Conservation effort including World Wildlife Fund (WWF) -México, Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP), and the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve (MBBR), led by Cellular Tracking Technologies (CTT) and the Cape May Point Arts and Science Center in Cape May, New Jersey, sent a team to Mexico. CTT is the creator of the solar-powered Blu+ Morpho transmitters described in this New York Times article.
Measuring weight and recording the conditions of wings and abdomens, as well as gender, a database was created for butterflies receiving the solar-powered Blu+ Morpho transmitter at each of the three largest Monarch colonies. This happened just in time as the gradual, but massive departure of the real Monarch Butterflies begins with the unusually warm temperatures here.

Para el transporte de polen, muchas plantas dependen del viento, otras del agua, pero muchas dependen de los animales, particularmente de los insectos, cuya recompensa es obtener el dulce néctar mientras distribuyen el polen de flor en flor
A lo largo del tiempo, las plantas evolucionaron y desarrollaron estrategias increíbles para atraer a los insectos, empezando por sus colores y sus fragancias.

Con el tiempo, la ciencia en relación con la excepcional migración de las Mariposas Monarcas ha evolucionado y ha dado un importante paso adelante.
La semana pasada, la Colaboración Project Monarch, un esfuerzo Trinacional en Investigación y Conservación incluyendo a WWF-México, Comisió Nacional de Areas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP) y la Reserva de la Biósfera Mariposa Monarca (MBBR), encabezados por Cellular Tracking Technologies (CTT) y el Centro de Ciencias y Artes de Cape, May, Nueva Jersey, EU, envíaron un equipo de trabajo a México. CTT es el creador de los transmisores solares Blue+Morpho descrito en éste artículo New York Times article.
Al tomar el peso y registrar las condiciones de alas, abdomenes así como de género, se creó una base de datos para las mariposas a las que les fueron colocados sus transmisores Blue+Morpho en cada una de las tres colonia más grandes de hibernación de las Mariposas Monarcas. Esto sucede justo al tiempo que una gradual pero masiva salida de las Mariposas Monarcas reales comienza debido a las altas temperaturas aquí en sus sitios montañas de hibernación.
¡Prepárense para recibir las fantásticas cartas de respuesta de sus amigos mexicanos que viven en los bosques de Oyamel, después de recibir los cientos y cientos de sus maravillosas Embajadoras!
