Monarch update Spring 2018
« on: May 14, 2018, 08:12:02 pm »
Just posting randomly from my newsletter, which I can't link to. 



Of minor interest, the old program has merged with a couple others that are taking a more focused approach to the research.  "randomly selected" grids for monitoring to get a sample size.

The good:  There appears to be a very deliberate attempt to evenly distribute the grid across the country. 

The bad:  It appears to have a very high bias towards areas near universities and existing wildlife refuges (at least in Utah)  (though there are a very few that are rather remote)

I've never seen the north/south split in the eastern monarchs before, as shown on the map.  No rationale presented why they delineate those.

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden. He drove out the man, and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
~The Conclave Bible, Genesis 3:23-24
