June 7, 2012 There's a most unusual gym in ecologist Sonia Altizer's lab at the University of Georgia in Athens. The athletes are monarch butterflies, and their workouts are carefully monitored to determine how parasites impact their flight performance. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Altizer and her team study how animal behavior, including long distance migration, affects the spread and evolution of infectious disease. credit: NSF Topics: Lepidoptera, Butterfly, Pollinators, Environment, N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion protein, National Science Foundation, disease, Monarch, Altizer, infectious disease, Sonia Altizer
