MONARCHS TAKE MANHATTAN: Monarch Watch and Chip Taylor, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, were noted in a recent New York Times article. The piece focused on Taylor's predictions of trouble for migrating butterflies due to drought conditions in southern states. "Taylor has already halved his prediction for the size of the winter roosts in central Mexico, to 14 acres from 30," the article says.

KU HISTORY

Comanche, a horse thought to be the only U.S. Army survivor of the battle of Little Big Horn, has been on display in Lawrence for more than 100 years. Although he was severely wounded in the battle, he was nursed back to health and lived until Nov. 7, 1891. KU naturalist Lewis Lindsay Dyche, a well-known taxidermist, was called to preserve the horse's remains. He agreed to waive his $400 fee if the Army would let KU keep Comanche. www.kuhistory.com
