that defines an ancestral circadian clock mechanism in monarch butterflies containing two cryptochrome proteins that not only function as critical components, but may also act as output molecules that connect the clock to the sun compass for successful navigation.
The researchers genetically mapped the molecular underpinings of the butterflies' circadian clocks and found cryptochrome proteins common in both insects and mammals. Reppert believes these proteins enable the monarchs to navigate using the sun's position in the sky.
Since 1992, KU scientists at Monarch Watch have led a nationwide study of the monarch butterfly’s spectacular fall migration from the United States to Mexico. Working with more than 15,000 volunteers, students and teachers, these researchers monitor monarch populations each year.
Through research and consequential learning outreach, Monarch Watch strives to help preserve monarch pollinator habitats and to help promote prairie passage biodiversity, wildlife conservation and engaging earth science education.
To counter the constant loss of wildlife habitat, Monarch Watch sells seed kits for Monarch Waystations — small gardens devoted to plants that support monarchs. Monarch Watch also uses the monarch’s story to create materials for hands-on science education in primary and secondary schools.
Monarch Watch receives more national publicity than any other KU program, but that doesn’t necessarily bring the financial support needed to help its programs grow. Your contribution can help provide staff to manage the monarch research database, develop new educational materials for schools and keep the program’s extensive website up to date.

Saturday 15-Sep-2007:
Every year, tens to hundreds of thousands of Monarchs stop on their way south to refuel on the nectar from the ocean of yellow Bidens flowers at the wetlands, a fantastic site in its own right. Reports from the northern states suggest that the migration this year - there should be plenty of monarchs.
We will have check-in and information tables just inside the boardwalk entrance to the wetlands so you can arrive and leave whenever you please. The monarchs are usually roosting or clustering (sometimes in spectacular concentrations!) until around 8:30AM. As it warms up, they begin foraging on the Bidens flowers around the boardwalk.

An intrinsic element in the development of this piece has been exploring Minnesota environment and seasons through Butoh, a postmodern form of Japanese dance. Butoh is a state of mind; it is my experience.
To dance Butoh requires constant attention, to rid myself of preconceived notions
of what I am about to do, or how I appear to an outside eye."
