Hello from St. Joseph's Academy in Baton Rouge, LA. We have some questions
for Ask The Expert on the monarch migration.
1) Do monarchs get lost during migration?
2) Did the viceroy or any other species branch off from the monarch/ Or are
any species diverging or converging in evolution from the monarch?
3) What percentage of monarchs make it to the migratory stage?
4) What are some invertebrate predators of the monarch and why are they able
to eat the monarch since birds can't?
5) Does the shorter distance by crossing the Gulf of Mexicao affect the
monarch's life cycle?
6) How does magnetite get into its system or on its body?

Thank you. Mrs. Ales's Honors Biology classes
