Record heat likely disrupted diapause, though that same December, people documented a record high number of breeding adults, eggs and larvae on milkweeds, suggesting a winter breeding switch. The following year, the overwintering population rebounded, with about 240,000 monarchs believed to have been descendants from the winter breeders.</news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149440//p>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149440/n<p>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149440/u201cOne of the current puzzles surrounding monarchs is how such low overwintering populations can give rise to such robust summer breeding populations,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149440/u201d Fedorka says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149440/u201cOur data show that monarchs failing to reach overwintering sites may not be dying, as generally expected.
