From 2014 to 2020, as part of their Pollinator Monitoring Program, the MPG Ranch Butterfly Monitoring Program tracked butterfly populations using modified Pollard Transects, timed surveys, inventory trips, and opportunistic sightings. Changes in relative abundance of butterfly populations were analyzed in terms of habitat restoration efforts, land management practices, weather events, and climate. Methods and results were used to study how both survey design and butterfly detectability affect butterfly monitoring projects across the continent. This program included opportunities for public outreach and encouraged interaction between citizen scientists and professional biologists.
