In the fall, Eastern North American monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) undergo a magnificent long-range migration. In contrast to spring and summer butterflies, fall migrants are juvenile hormone deficient, which leads to reproductive arrest and increased longevity. Migrants also use a time-co...
ORGANISM(S): Danaus plexippus 
All but the most basal Lepidopteran species produce two sperm morphs. Only one of these morphs is capable of completing karyogamy and producing offspring, this morph contains the correct genetic complement and is termed eupyrene sperm. Apyrene sperm, on the other hand, is completely devoid of nucle...

We characterized sperm from the seminal vesicles of male monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), in triplicate, identifying 548 high confidence proteins. As with all but the most basal lepidopteran species male monarch butterflies are sperm heteromorphic, producing fertilization competent and anucle...

gene expression in monarch butterfly
The purpose of this experiment was to compare RNA-seq profiles of adult male and female butterfly chemosensory tissues to identify tissue- and sex-specific differences in gustatory and olfactory gene expression. Three biological replicates per sex were produced from individual Heliconius melpomene r...
