Join Darene Assadia, a U-M researcher with the Green Lab, in a behind-the-scenes look at the Biodiversity Lab (part of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, aka EEB) and learn how researchers study monarch migration and behavior. Then read in a National Geographic article how researchers use community science to track monarch butterfly population growth in North America. Explore resources where you can participate in monarch butterfly tracking by joining local and continental projects.

Biodiversity Lab Interview with Darene

Audience: Families and Adults
Grades: 3+
Duration: 2 minutes

How do monarch butterflies find nectar sources, even during miles of migration? Join Darene in the Biodiversity Lab to learn research techniques for studying the senses of sight and smell in monarch butterflies. The U-M LSA Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) partners with UMMNH to sponsor scientists like Darene from the Green Lab to staff the Biodiversity Lab and talk with UMMNH visitors.
