"Butterflies are disappearing in Ohio. Here’s what that means for insects everywhere"
by Vicky Stein
What they found
The overall numbers of butterflies in Ohio have decreased year over year for the past two decades—about 2 percent each year. When the researchers compared that rate to other long-term studies, the general decline matched the results of monitoring programs in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain.
But the team wanted to understand why some species of butterflies were harder-hit than others, and why some actually increased their populations over the course of the study.
They looked to see if related species of butterflies were all doing better or worse, and did not find a pattern.
