In an integrated set of studies, our laboratory is using anatomical, cellular, molecular, electrophysiological, genetic and behavioral approaches to more fully understand the biological basis of monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) migration, with a focus on the butterfly's navigational abilities and its ancestral circadian clock.  For details see the Reppert Lab link
