While not endangered the range of the Zebra Swallowtail has been declining. In the 1920s they were common in northeastern Indiana while today they are rare.
Our goal is to save the remaining habitat of zebra swallowtails and to restore some of the most valuable lost habitat.
This project models potential movement corridors for Zebra Swallowtail butterflies based on:
Zebra swallowtails use a combination of pawpaw groves and riparian zones as navigation corridors, structuring population connectivity and distribution.
