Midwestern Butterfly Survey Reveals Troubling Trends and Insightful Clues Through Big Data Analysis
In a comprehensive and sobering new analysis spanning more than three decades of butterfly monitoring across the U.S. Midwest, researchers have uncovered a persistent and widespread decline in butterfly populations. This unprecedented study, led by Michigan State University PhD candidate Wendy Leuenberger and her colleagues, reveals that none of the 136 butterfly species monitored exhibited population growth between 1992 and 2023.

Some butterfly species have declined in the Midwest; none has increased, MSU study finds
In the last three decades of data from butterfly counts in the Midwest, none of the butterfly species increased in population. More than 40% declined in number.

Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined.
We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow.
Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵
