When John II agreed to a peace treaty with the English, Charles II freed all the prisoners in Paris. With the city on the verge of revolution, Charles U-turned and took the opportunity to lead the aristocracy at the Battle of Mello and the subsequent massacre of the rebels.

Oberhauser is a strong proponent of citizen science, environmental and scientific literacy. She is a member of the Editorial Board for Citizen Science: Theory and Practice. [8] Caterpillars leaking fluid or refusing to eat for more than 24 hours should be separated from the rest If you’ve handled a dog or cat that’s had a flea treatment applied, wash your hands before handling monarchs, milkweed, or raising supplies. The 1981 annual police report reads: “The discharge of a firearm during the visit of Her Majesty the Queen serves to remind us all of the potential risks to royalty, particularly during public walks.”A staunch supporter of the Pope and the Catholic Church when Fisher and other bishops appealed to the Holy See after encroachments on the Catholic Church, Henry had them arrested on the basis that such appeals were forbidden. A brief imprisonment was followed by Fisher’s re-arrest for treason for refusing to accept Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Oberhauser, K. S., Taylor, O. R., Reppert, S.

Pleasants, John M.; Oberhauser, Karen S. (March 2013). "Milkweed loss in agricultural fields because of herbicide use: effect on the monarch butterfly population". Insect Conservation and Diversity. 6 (2): 135–144. doi: 10.1111/j.1752-4598.2012.00196.x. S2CID 14595378. Virtually everyone agrees that overall, despite spikes and dips from one year to the next, the winter population in Mexico has been heading down for most of the past three decades. That is not good news for the monarchs. What to do about it, though, depends on the cause. Oberhauser and her allies still contend that milkweed loss is enemy number one. But the other evidence adds confusing and complex twists to what once seemed like a straightforward story with a ready-made villain. That means helping the insects has become more complicated, too.

The rebellion was initiated after a poor harvest in 1535 led to high food prices. Due to King Henry’s Reformation which saw many monasteries dissolved, the poor were unable to turn to them for food and shelter. The rebellion also involved a religious and political angle in that many people who had loved Queen Catherine were appalled by the King’s divorce and his marriage to Anne Boleyn while also seeing their Catholic faith betrayed by new Protestant doctrines. a b "White House to honor professor Karen Oberhauser as Champion of Change for Citizen Science at ceremony Tuesday". University of Minnesota. 2018-09-24. In 2014, Oberhauser and a colleague published a scientific article examining how usage of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide on farmland in North America contributes to the decline of milkweeds, important food sources for the butterflies. [6] They found that the size of populations of milkweed were smaller in areas of increased Roundup use, suggesting that the loss of this food source may contribute to the decline of monarchs. The milkweed limitation hypothesis as this has become known, has been tested by other groups of scientists finding conflicting results. [7] Thus, the actual contribution of Roundup use and loss of populations of milkweed to the decline of monarch butterflies is still unclear. To improve butterfly-habitat regions in general, Oberhauser would like to see the U.S. Department of Agriculture increase the hectares in its Conservation Reserve Program—the most important federal program supporting wildlife areas on farmland—which has dropped to below 9.3 million from a 2007 high of almost 15 million.
