Ania Majewska is a Ph.D. student at the University of Georgia, Odum School of Ecology. Her strong interests in pollinator conservation and disease ecology led her to develop a project examining how a non-native milkweed, namely tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica), can impact monarch butterflies, which have drastically declined in the past two decades. This non-native milkweed is commonly found in the butterfly gardens of the southeastern U.S. and may have negative consequences for monarch population health and their spectacular long-distance migration.
