Talk:Animal Behavior/The Monarch Butterfly

What is this 'book' about? Animal Behavior? Monarch Butterflies? Migration? I can do some editing, but this text needs to have some type of outline, at least.

from the first paragraph:

"The relationship between prey and predators continually changes.a pointless topic sentence. Is this text about the prey and predators? Prey need to find ways to outsmart predatorsthe thoughts of prey are really not likely to be known in order to survive and reproduce. most monarch butterflies do not live very long.quantification works better than this thats why they are endangered. Monarch butterflies are not endangered One way monarch butterflies increase their fitness is by forming huge groups of up to ten million. does this mean then as groups break up they decrease their fitness? As their group size increases, the probability that any one monarch butterfly will be captured decreases. there is not much capturing going onMoreover, the butterflies located in the center of a large group are more likely to survive than those on the outside (Pike, 1999). This is known as the “dilution effect (Alcock, 2001).”
