SUMMARY:A Tale of Two Worlds:  Conserving Migratory and Resident Butterflie
 s
DESCRIPTION:Please join Nature Guelph on January 12 at 7:30 pm for a presen
 tation by Ryan Norris. The event will be held at The Arboretum Centre\, Un
 iversity of Guelph and on Zoom. Everyone is welcome!\n\nSuccessful conserv
 ation of threatened species requires detailed knowledge of their ecology a
 nd life-history. There are perhaps no greater contrast in life-histories t
 han between migratory and resident species. I will discuss our efforts to 
 conserve monarch butterflies\, who travel 1000’s of km’s annually betw
 een their U.S. and Canadian breeding areas and overwintering sites in cent
 ral Mexico\, and Mottled Duskywing\, who are resident habitat specialists 
 of tallgrass prairie and oak savannah that travel no more than a couple of
  km’s in their lifetime. Whether it be cooperation across international 
 borders or restoration of an imperilled habitat\, each species presents it
 s own challenges for conservation. Furthermore\, conservation actions for 
 each species have wildly different implications for both society and biodi
 versity.\n\nTwo ways to attend this presentation\n1) In person with COVID 
 precautions.\n2) Via ZOOM. Preregistration required. by visiting\nhttps://
