We can all contribute to conservation efforts — sometimes even from our own backyards.

We remodeled it to our liking, and started planting all kinds of gardens. The idea was to be self-sufficient, but also to create a wildlife refuge to some extent. For that reason, I live plants other people consider weed, such as wild raspberry, wild phlox, mint. Anything I know that birds, bees and butterflies love.

Evidence has been mounting that female monarch butterflies are better at flying and more successful at migration than males, and researchers from the University of Georgia have now come up with an explanation—but not one they expected.
