Monarch Butterfly Tracking and Research

The video tutorial discusses the process of electronically tagging migrating monarch butterflies to track their movements in the wild. It explains the components of the tag, how it functions, and the importance of tracking these butterflies to understand their migration patterns. The video also highlights the significance of conserving their habitats and the role of technology in aiding conservation research.

What is the main goal of tagging the monarch butterflies?

• To prevent them from migrating

• To increase their population

• To change their migration route

• To track their migration patterns

What components are used in the electronic tag for butterflies?

• A solar panel and a GPS

• A small battery and a circuit

• A camera and a microphone

• A magnet and a sensor

How does the electronic tag help in tracking the butterflies?

• It beeps and is received by a radio antenna

• It changes their flight path

• It records their speed

• It emits a light signal

Why is the preservation of butterfly habitats crucial?

• They are the only places butterflies can live

• They are the only places where monarchs can breed

• They are tourist attractions

• They provide food for other animals

What indicates the success of the tagging process?

• The butterfly stops migrating

• The butterfly flies faster

• The butterfly changes its color

• The butterfly behaves normally

What is the purpose of locating the butterflies from the air?

• To relocate them to a new habitat

• To observe their natural behavior

• To feed them

• To capture them for study

What direction did the tagged butterfly head towards?

• Southwest

• Northwest

• Northeast

• Southeast

What was built to assist in getting aerial shots for research?

• A drone

• A helicopter

• A kite

• A balloon

What is the ultimate goal of using aerial shots in this research?

• To improve conservation efforts

• To create a documentary

• To entertain the public

• To sell to news agencies
