A trans-oceanic flight of over 4,200 km by painted lady butterflies

T. Suchan, C. P. Bataille, et al.

This groundbreaking study reveals an astonishing journey of Vanessa cardui butterflies crossing over 4200 km from West Africa to South America, lasting just 5-8 days. With innovative methods like wind trajectory modeling and ecological niche modeling, the research by Tomasz Suchan, Clément P. Bataille, Megan S. Reich, Eric Toro-Delgado, Roger Vila, Naomi E. Pierce, and Gerard Talavera uncovers the potential for these insects to travel even farther, challenging our understanding of transoceanic insect dispersal.
