A comparison of summer, fall and winter estimates of monarch population size before and after milkweed eradication from crop fields in North America
Measures of the area occupied by overwintering monarchs in México since the mid-1990s show a decline. Summer surveys of monarchs, however, do not show a similar decline. This discrepancy has led to the proposition that summer monarch numbers are actually stable and that increasing mortality during migration has led to declining overwintering numbers. A competing hypothesis is that this discrepancy
