A long-term study of butterfly populations in Ohio's Cuyahoga Valley National Park is shedding light on ecological changes and the impacts of human activities on local ecosystems. The study, which has been ongoing since the 1990s, represents one of the longest-running volunteer-driven insect surveys in North America. Experts from Kent State’s Department of Biological Sciences are working to interpret 20-plus years’ worth of data and convey what it means for environmental conservation.
