Impacts of climate change on Propertius Duskywing

University of Western Ontario PhD candidate Caroline Williams is researching insect over-wintering and the effects of climate change on their energy use over winter. In particular, she has been studying the Propertius Duskywing butterfly on NCC's Cowichan Garry Oak Property - a species that is only found in Garry Oak ecosystems.
