Oberhauser, K. S., Taylor, O. R., Reppert, S. M., Dingle, H., Nail, K. R., Pyle, R. M., & Stenoien, C. (2013). "Are monarch butterflies true navigators? The jury is still out". Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 110 (39), E3680-E3680. In the past few seasons, I’ve raised hundreds of butterflies from tiny monarch egg. The only casualties I’ve experienced are from carelessness (rushing cage cleaning), and accidentally bringing in monarch predators with milkweed…mainly small spiders. Aske’s rebellion was viewed as a serious threat to the Crown as the barrister assembled between 30-40,000 people and occupied York. The Duke of Norfolk was assigned the task to quell both the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion and a new rising called Bigod’s Rebellion led by one Sir Francis Bigod.

In the British tradition, it refers to the judicial execution of a king after a trial, reflecting the historical precedent of the trial and execution of Charles I of England. The concept of regicide has also been explored in media and the arts through pieces like Macbeth ( Macbeth's killing of King Duncan)In 2014, Oberhauser and a colleague published a scientific article examining how usage of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide on farmland in North America contributes to the decline of milkweeds, important food sources for the butterflies. [6] They found that the size of populations of milkweed were smaller in areas of increased Roundup use, suggesting that the loss of this food source may contribute to the decline of monarchs. The milkweed limitation hypothesis as this has become known, has been tested by other groups of scientists finding conflicting results. [7] Thus, the actual contribution of Roundup use and loss of populations of milkweed to the decline of monarch butterflies is still unclear.

Zipkin also thinks the milkweed limitation hypothesis remains in play. Along with Oberhauser, she has found evidence in data from Illinois that glyphosate use, in conjunction with changes in springtime weather, can affect local monarch butterfly abundance in summer. “It’s hard for me to believe ... that the amount of milkweed on the landscape is not influencing monarchs.My question is: How much is it doing that?” Zipkin says. Oberhauser has been director for the Monarchs in the Classroom Program, president of the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Foundation [11] and director of the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project. [9] Select publications [ edit ] Led by London lawyer Robert Aske the ‘Pilgrimage of Grace’ uprising which began in Yorkshire and spread to Cumberland, Northumberland and Lancashire was the most serious of rebellions during Henry’s reign. It was a spontaneous mass protest and rebellion against the policies of the Crown associated with Henry’s advisor Thomas Cromwell. In both the François Ravaillac and the Damiens cases, court papers refer to the offenders as a patricide, rather than as regicide, which lets one deduce that, through divine right, the king was also regarded as "Father of the country".Beatified as a martyr for the Catholic Church, Margaret Pole’s treatment by Henry VIII was particularly cruel, particularly in light of the Countess of Surrey’s advancing age. A peeress in her own right she had been left a little land by her husband and raised five surviving children. Margaret became a lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII’s first wife. Later she devoted her third son Reginald Pole to the Church where he became the Archbishop of Canterbury. By 1538 the Countess had become one of the richest women in the country due to her handling of her lands.

There are many who would claim that King Herod committed his most heinous deed with the Massacre of the Innocents. However, the story of the slaughter of all boys in Bethlehem under the age of two is only found in the Bible; there are no historical records from the time detailing such an atrocity. Herod’s crimes were much more personal. Realize pesticide companies are not referring to caterpillars when they list their products as safe for beneficial insects Charles’s illness was grotesquely misunderstood at the time – interpreted as a sign that the king was probably bewitched; he would even undergo an exorcism in the final years of his life. The opportunist and social-climbing Francis Dereham had not continued sexual relations with Catherine Howard while she was Queen in his role at court as Gentleman Usher of the Queen’s Chamber. However it was his confession under torture that she was having relations with his rival, Thomas Culpepper, that led to both young men being arrested and sentenced to death.Later, after the downfall of the Second Mexican Empire, which saw the reign of Maximilian I of Mexico—a member of the House of Habsburg, which had previously ruled Mexico as New Spain from the 16th to 18th century— the Republican forces of Benito Juarez, with aid from the U.S. and sabotage by Colonel Miguel López, captured and executed him on 19 June 1867. Emperor Maximilian's last words were “…May my blood which is about to be spilled end the bloodshed which has been experienced in my new motherland. Long live Mexico! Long live its independence!". Aethelred’s tenure as king of England led to the inglorious epithet of Aethelred the Unready. However, a better translation of the moniker would be ‘ill-advised’, as it is generally agreed that the counsel Aethelred received was little and poor. Although, I recently had maggots emerge from a small (instar 3) monarch caterpillar I was raising. It was likely parasitized as a small instar 1 or 2 caterpillar… On 25 June 1836, a Frenchman named Alibaud attempted to assassinate the " July Monarch" Louis Philippe I by shooting him. [15] At trial, Alibaud held the king responsible for the economic ruin of his family, compared himself to Marcus Junius Brutus (most well known amongst the assassins of Julius Caesar), and stated: "Regicide is the right of all men who are debarred from any justice but that which they take into their own hands." [16] He was executed by guillotine.
