Many people in the biology department at San Jose State have also helped me. Carol Selter's interest and brilliant photography of my lab studies, Jenny Cross's friendship and statistics assistance, John Dayton's experiences raising monarchs, and Dr. Jerry Smith's feedback and guidance through the program are particularly memorable. Jon Detka's experiences and data loggers were also indispensable. The staff at Stanford University, where the field studies took place, supplied data, observations, and my introduction to the questions this research attempts to answer. Thanks to Karen Sudd in Grounds and Craig Barney in Environmental Health and Safety. Another thank you goes to Mark Rodriguez and Lifescan, for permission to study the tussock populations in Milpitas. I received financial support (Arthur and Karin Nelson Research Fellowship) and generous access to equipment and supplies at San Jose State University, and also donations of artificial diet from Bio-Serv. Many thanks go to my family, my parents and sister, and most of all, to Lars Kvarna. v
