Kontera Releases Industry’s First Story-Level Targeting for Related Content and In-Text Advertising Campaigns

Better Performance across both Endemic and Non-Endemic Sites, and Real-time Analysis of Evolving Stories and Articles

San Francisco, CA – August 20, 2009 – Kontera, the leading provider of In-Text Related Content and Advertising Solutions for web publishers, users and advertisers, today launched its story-level targeting capabilities after months of testing on thousands of publishers with hundreds of ad campaigns. Story Level Targeting achieves very high relevancy rates due to two key attributes, first is its ability to truly understand the overall gist of the story, and second is its ability to do this in real-time, whenever a story is served, thus taking into consideration the evolving nature of the story and the characteristics of each user. Story Level Targeting is ideal for optimizing related information and both brand and performance oriented advertising campaigns, across both topically endemic and non-endemic web sites.

“We have developed our latest technological breakthrough in response to two clear market trends that we heard from both web publishers and advertisers,” said Yoav Shaham, CEO of Kontera. “First is the need for either related information or ads to be shown in real-time wherever qualified users are consuming highly-relevant information. Second, is the need for In-Text matching to be fully cognizant of the evolving nature of each page and the differences that occur from user to user and pageview to pageview. Existing approaches fall short. They limit campaign targeting and effectiveness to topically endemic sites, and they place ads using static or one-size-fits-all targeting.”

Opening Up a Highly Relevant and Broad Non-Endemic Inventory

Keyword targeting alone has proven to be insufficient in representing a user’s intent for reading a given story because it doesn’t necessarily encapsulate the broader page context, and can fail to resolve critical word ambiguities; words like “accord,” for instance, could apply to the car or to an agreement. If there isn’t a deep, semantic understanding of the page the user, publisher and advertiser can all suffer if the wrong association is made. As a result, Key-Word centric In-Text and contextual networks are restricted to showcasing advertisers only within endemic websites that are dedicated to a specific category.

Kontera’s story-level targeting algorithms digest and fully understand the overall theme of any story on any site. As a result, Kontera is able to more accurately match related content and advertisements to each page, and to select the most relevant keyword phrases, as a conduit to best represent user interest and intent.

Story Level Targeting also allows Kontera to identify highly relevant articles, appearing on non-endemic sites, without requiring the site to be specifically “tagged” within an advertising category. Users see information that is truly relevant to them, publishers benefit from related information offerings and additional revenue streams. Advertisers are able to cost-effectively expand their campaigns to all high-relevance articles, on non-endemic sites, where qualified consumers increasingly get their information.

For example, story-level targeting enables the showcasing of a BlackBerry ad within a story about smartphones featured on SmartMoney.com, a financial site. BlackBerry reaches their target audience – people who are researching or interested in the latest smartphone developments – even though they are on a finance site rather than a technology site.

Real-Time Analysis that is Ideal for Today’s Evolving Web:

Internet content is increasingly becoming a dynamic and evolving "dialogue." Large publishers are increasingly adopting the blogging format, on-going story updates, comments, related links, referrals, and social media capabilities. These are all examples of ways in which media companies’ stories and web pages evolve content after their initial posting. Many large publishers also vary the content that they serve based on various end-user or personalization factors.

Static a priori targeting and advertising determination fails to properly evolve and “react” to evolving web stories. Similarly, static ad determinations fails to optimally react to any page content that varies from user to user and pageview to pageview.

Kontera’s Story-Level Targeting analyzes each pageview in real-time, when that page is served to the end-user. As a result, Kontera’s Story Level Targeting is able to consider the totality of each story’s evolution, as well as automatically adjusting for all attributes that vary when different users access the page.

Story Level Targeting, the ability to truly understand the overall themes of any story at any time, requires both sophisticated semantic analysis, as well as a real-time engine that is designed to handle today’s personalized and evolving web content.

Water was detected in moon:Chandrayan

Water was detected in moon:Chandrayan

Indian scientists rejoice as Chandrayaan-1 traces water on moon.

NEW DELHI: As news trickled out about Indian maiden lunar mission tracing water molecules on the moon's Surface, scientists rejoiced at the
Discovery and hope that it will pave the way for growing vegetation in the earth's
Natural satellite in future."I am really very happy to know that the NASA payload on Chandrayaan-1 has traced water. If it is true then it will pave the way for growing vegetation in moon surface in five or 10 years from now," renowned scientist Y S Rajan said."Even if there is no water in its complete H20 format, still it's a great feat. It will help make human venturing to moon a more enriching experience. Those going to moon can combine the molecule and get water."They can also break it and get oxygen which is a major problem for scientists in space," said Rajan, who has written the book India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium, along with former president A P J Abdul Kalam.He said India's moon mission was a "great success" that proved ISRO's capability and efficiency in managing key space projects. "We have received loads of data from moon via our mission. It has certainly enriched the global scientific community.""The moon has distinct signatures of water," top American scientist Carle Pieters confirmed on Thursday."The evidence of water molecules on the surface of the moon was found by the moon mineralogy mapper (M3) of the US-based National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on board Chandrayaan-1," M3 principal investigator Pieters said in a paper published in the journal Science.Amitabha Ghosh, space scientist at NASA, said: "This is a very, very important finding... If somehow water was found on the moon, you could use that water right out there. You could extract it.""Right now, we don't know what temperature it is, and whether there is a cost effective way of extracting it," he added. Mila Mitra, a scientist formerly associated with NASA said: "This is truly significant because it will help find any trace of life on moon."
"Now you will see more money being invested in moon missions. There might be manned moon missions. Now you will see more emphasis on such endeavours," she added.
S Chandrasekaran, another leading scientist, said: "Yes, we are very happy. I was not part of the mission so cannot give technical details but yes, the discovery is very significant. It is great and very important."
Last year, former ISRO chief K Kasturirangan had told the news agency: "For me personally, if Chandrayaan-1 manages to find evidence of water on the moon, then that would be the biggest achievement."Chandrayaan-1 was India's first unmanned lunar probe. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008, and operated until August 2009. The spacecraft carried five Indian instruments and six from abroad, including M3 and another from NASA, three from the EuropeaSpace Agency (ESA), and one from Bulgaria.

Chandrayan an amazing success, not a failure: NASA astronaut

NASA astronaut Edward Michael Fincke said on Friday that the Indian moon mission 'Chandrayan' was not a failure, but an "amazing success".
"There is a lot of speculation about the mission being failed. On the contrary, it was a success with 95 per cent of its objectives achieved," Fincke, a veteran of two missions in the International Space Station ISS), told reporters in Guwahati.
"This not the official view but my own perspective as an astronaut and the fact that Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was able to put a satellite to orbit the moon and plant the Indian Flag on the surface of the moon is indeed amazing," said Fincke, married to NASA engineer Renita Saikia whose parents hail from Assam. 
The NASA astronaut, currently on a 11-day visit to the North East, interacted with nearly five thousand students and professors of schools, colleges, universities and the local IIT.

Chandrayaan - I finds traces of water on moon 

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Chandrayaan-1 probe had found traces of water across the surface of large parts of the moon, challenging the long-held view that the earth’s natural satellite is bone dry.
The spacecraft also found indications that water is being produced in the lunar soil through interactions with charged particles streaming out from the sun. 
This major discovery is a vindication of the Chandryaan-1 mission, which encountered many problems and finally ended abruptly last month. 
The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), a U.S.-supplied instrument that flew on the Chandrayaan-1, examined the intensity of different colours of sunlight bouncing off the lunar surface. 
In a paper being published online this week by Science, American and Indian scientists report that the instrument found a distinctive signature of water and hydroxyl emanating from the moon. (A water molecule is made up of one oxygen atom linked to two hydrogen atoms, while hydroxyl has the oxygen atom attached to just one hydrogen atom.) 
The M3 discovered the signature of water and hydroxyl on the surface soil and rocks at many diverse places in sunlit regions of the moon. The signature was stronger at the higher latitudes. Two U.S. space missions, Cassini and the Deep Impact spacecraft, had provided supporting evidence. 
“We've made a very important step with this discovery,” said Carle Pieters of Brown University in the U.S., principal investigator for the M3. But “when we say ‘water on the moon,’ we are not talking about lakes, oceans or even puddles. Water on the moon means molecules of water and hydroxyl that interact with molecules of rock and dust specifically in the top millimeters of the moon's surface,” she cautioned in a press release issued by the university. 
What was detected was water molecules present in extremely minute quantities on the surface soil and rocks, noted J.N. Goswami, director of the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad and principal scientist for the Chandrayaan-1. He estimated that less than a teaspoon of water could be squeezed out from several kg of lunar soil. 
The widespread distribution of water seen by M3 was “a complete surprise,” said Lawrence Taylor of the University of Tennessee in the U.S., one of the authors of the paper. Scientists have begun finding signs of water in some lunar minerals, he told this correspondent.

Moon water traces finding by Chandrayaan-1 path-breaking: ISRO

Bangalore Describing as "path-breaking" the evidence of water on Moon by India's Chandrayaan-1 mission, ISRO Chairman G Madhavan Nair said on Thursday that no lunar odyssey so far had given a "positive" conclusion.
"There is confirmation of traces of water. It is a path-breaking event as far as Chandrayaan-1 mission is concerned. It is very very significant. So far, no mission has confirmed the presence of water positively," Nair revealed. 
One of the major instruments that gave the data was Moon Mineralogy Mapper of NASA, which was one of the payloads on board India's maiden Moon mission supplemented by hyper-spectral imager and moon impact probe of Indian Space Research Organisation. The data analysis was done by scientists of Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the US and Physical Research Laboratory and Space Application Centre, both headquartered in Ahmedabad, he said. 
Nair said ISRO would make a formal announcement and disclose detailed analysis tomorrow following the publication of findings in a science journal and announcement by NASA scientists. 
Chandrayaan-1, launched in October last year, ended prematurely last month ahead of its two-year life span but Nair has maintained that it had achieved 95 per cent of its objectives.

Isro chief lauds Chandrayaan-I's discovery of water traces

Bangalore: Isro chairman G Madhavan Nair has described the evidence of water on moon by India's Chandrayaan-I mission as "path-breaking", adding that said no lunar odyssey so far had given a "positive" conclusion.
"There is confirmation of traces of water. It is a path-breaking event as far as Chandrayaan-1 mission is concerned. It is very significant. So far, no mission has confirmed the presence of water positively," he told PTI.

India Ends Chandrayaan-1 Orbiter’s Mission After Losing Contact

India’s ISRO has decided to end its Chandrayaan-1 orbiter

mission after losing contact 2 days ago.
Launched in October last year, this marks a somewhat premature end to the mission, but not before collecting a significant amount of data.
I’ll have a full retrospective up in a few days, as eyes turn to India’s next effort, an unmanned rover (in collaboration with Russia) called simply Chandrayaan-2…
Each of us  acknowledge or not many more knew, good news is that chandrayan has completed 100 Days in lunar.......

Bangalore, Jan 29: India`s maiden unmanned Moon mission Chandrayaan-I completes 100 days tomorrow and preliminary findings from data generated by on-board scientific instruments were discussed by scientists for the first time on Thursday. 
The scientists associated with Chandrayaan-1 had a day-long meeting at the ISRO Satellite Centre here on the eve of the 100th day of the launch of India`s historic lunar mission on October 22. 
"The discussions were largely technical in nature", an official of Bangalore-headquartered Indian Space Research Organisation said. ISRO is expected to issue a statement detailing deliberations of the closed-door meeting this week. 
Preliminary findings from the data generated by three instruments on board the lunar probe-- the Moon Mineralogy Mapper, Mini-SAR and the Imaging X-ray Spectrometer, which have already been announced, are encouraging. 
ISRO had invited scientists behind Indian payloads (scientific instruments) as well those from countries whose instruments, including from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), are onboard the spacecraft for today`s conclave.Chandrayaan-1 has 11 instruments on board -- five from India, three from ESA (one of which is developed jointly with India and other with Indian contribution), one from Bulgaria and two from the US.

Chandrayaan symbolic of future`

Coimbatore, Dec 29: Highlighting the importance of team effort, Chandrayaan-1 Project Director M Annadurai on Monday said the success of the country`s maiden Moon mission was symbolic of what India could be in future.
"It (Chandrayaan-1) demonstrated how India could get along and lead a team of technical and scientific experts from internationally reputed organisations to realise an ambitious mission," he said while delivering an address at the Amrita University here. 
"Team spirit is the mantra for achieving something big," Annadurai told the students. 
"Harmonising efforts of all team members towards a common goal and realising the objective with an allotted budget and schedule demonstrated how good the team has converted a very difficult situation into a historic opportunity," he said. 
The International Lunar Exploration Working Group`s International Cooperation Award was given to ISRO Chandrayaan-1 team, for the "challenging accommodation and tests" of the most international lunar payload ever -- from 20 countries -- with the successful launch on the PSLV on Oct 22 and for the successful lunar insertion on November 8, 2008, he said. 
"If ISRO can achieve such a feat, why not other Indian teams. As a team we can do wonders. It can be accomplished as a team in all the fields, let it be in education, medicine, industry, trade, commerce, press, electronic media, sports, arts, service department and even in politics," Annadurai said. 
Interacting with engineering students in Madurai yesterday, Chandrayaan-1 Project Director  Annadurai said the ISRO has started working on Chandrayaan II. 
Plans for Chandrayaan III were also underway, he said.Chandrayaan II would land a small rover on the moon`s surface, collect and analyse samples, while Chandrayaan III envisages having a spacecraft land on the moon and bring back samples from it to the Earth. 
Noting that investment of Rs.386 crore was profitable, he said that scientists from NASA, European space agency, Japan and Bulgaria also worked with ISRO on Chandrayaan I mission.

Global Warming:Destruction of Human society.

                         
Global Warming:Destruction of Human society

Destruction of Human society

Human are living in society in peacefully but there are chance of breaching of this peace.

Global warming can destroy the society of humankind.Nowadays global warming is measure issues in world.Who is responsibility for "global warming".We human is sole responsibility for global warming and not other living things like Animals & Birds.

Polar bears listed in endangered species acts,but US government limits its protection.it is very risky.if endangered specie like polar bear disappear then polar bear became world most wanted animals.The polar bear was officially listed as threatened under the U.S. endangered species act (ESA) on May 14, 2008. This the first creature brought under the act's protection for habitat loss that is linked to global warming.The official reason given was loss of Arctic sea ice and predictions that the ice will continue to decrease.Although global warming has been identified by most atmospheric and polar scientists as the main reason for Arctic warming and melting of sea ice, the U.S. Interior Department did not use man-made global warming as a reason and clearly signaled it would not apply the law to greenhouse gas emissions.

Pushing the Boundaries of Life: Alaska

The listing of polar bears as threatened under the U.S. endangered species act will name global warming as the main threat, a first. The reduction of the permanent Arctic sea ice by 14 percent since the 1970s is causing not only feeding and breeding difficulties, but also drownings and apparent cannibalism among bears. The listing should be official by the end of 2007. For more information, see Center for Biological Diversity. Scientists are just beginning to see the effects of climate change on other Arctic wildlife. Caribou give birth at specific times and locations, making them susceptible to changes in weather and vegetation. Studies show that the tundra is now blooming slightly earlier and that it is affected by drier summers and heavier winter snow.

 Biologist Gus Shaver at one of his experimental plots at Toolik Lake, Alaska, monitors increased birch growth due to experimental fertilization and global warming. Shaver says the results of his experiment suggest that warming eventually will promote the growth of birch at the expense of sedges, forbs, and other plants that caribou and other wildlife favor as food sources. During an initial 15-year study (1981-95, which included the warmest decade on record) the sedge Eriophorum decreased by 30 percent while birch biomass increased, even in control plots. In 2002 Shaver reports the growth of birch has changed the ecology of tundra in some plots by covering and killing moss with large amount of leaf litter.

The great loss of ice from the Arctic, which includes not only the polar sea ice cover but also thawing glaciers and tundra permafrost, has other major implications. One of the most important is that dark open water and tundra absorb much more solar heat than white ice and snow. This is a "feedback loop" that will make changes happen faster.

 
 Something should be done it is very danger to humankind

Before everything is finished, it is responsibility of each of us to preserve our earth from such a massive destruction .

 It is our duty to save our earth.We should halt deforestation and pace towards activity  of afforestation.

 As our country become greenish,we can view from stratosphere that earth is greenish.

                                                                   
Another large effect in the Arctic is a freshening of the Arctic Ocean. In late 2002, geochemist Bruce Peterson of the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, MA, and his collaborators in the US and Russia, showed that the major rivers of Siberia and Eurasia are discharging much more water now than in the 1930s. This not only meets the predictions of an effect of climate change, but indicates the scale of change affecting the Arctic.

In late 2002, geochemist Bruce Peterson of the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, MA, and his collaborators in the US and Russia, showed that the major rivers of Siberia and Eurasia are discharging much more water now than in the 1930s. This not only meets the predictions of an effect of climate change, but indicates the scale of another source of added fresh water into the Arctic.

So what is happening to all this fresh water from increased river flow, melting glaciers and shrinking sea ice? It mixes into the Arctic Ocean and the less salty Arctic water flows south around Greenland, to the source of some of the greatest ocean currents.

U.S. Global Change Research Program summarizes climate changes in the United States in a
June 2008 report.

This report, "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States," spells out in great detail what global warming has already caused across the continental states (Alaska and Hawaii are of course included, and show how these American states are affected by important shifts in Arctic and Pacific island climates). The report is available at the government climate website.

The summary here is taken directly from the report and should dispel any doubt that the U.S. has already been changed by increasing atmospheric temperatures. The nation has a huge stake in lives, buildings, agriculture and ecosystems being damaged enormously if heat-trapping greenhouse gases are not curtailed very rapidly -- here and around the world.

1. Global warming is unequivocal and primarily human-induced.

Global temperature has increased over the past 50 years. U.S. average temperature has risen more than 2 degrees F over the past 50 years. This observed increase is due primarily to human-induced
emissions of heat-trapping gases.
2. Climate changes are underway in the United States and are projected to grow.
Climate-related changes are already observed in the United States and its coastal waters. These include increases in heavy downpours, rising temperature and sea level, rapidly retreating glaciers, thawing permafrost, lengthening growing seasons, lengthening ice-free seasons in the ocean and on lakes and rivers, earlier snowmelt, and alterations in river flows. These changes are projected to grow.
3. Widespread climate-related impacts are occurring now and are expected to increase.
Climate changes are already affecting water, energy, transportation, agriculture, ecosystems, and health. These impacts are different from region to region and will grow under projected climate change.

4. Climate change will stress water resources.

Water is an issue in every region, but the nature of the potential impacts varies. Drought, related to reduced precipitation, increased evaporation, and increased water loss from plants, is an important issue in many regions, especially in the West. Floods and water quality problems are likely to be amplified by climate change in most regions. Declines in mountain snowpack are important in the West and Alaska where snowpack provides vital natural water storage.

5. Crop and livestock production will be increasingly challenged.
Many crops show positive responses to elevated carbon dioxide and low levels of warming, but higher levels of warming often negatively affect growth and yields. Increased pests, water stress, diseases, and weather extremes will pose adaptation challenges for crop and livestock production.
6. Coastal areas are at increasing risk from sea-level rise and storm surge.
Sea-level rise and storm surge place many U.S. coastal areas at increasing risk of erosion and flooding, especially along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, Pacific Islands, and parts of Alaska. Energy and transportation infrastructure and other property in coastal areas are very likely to be adversely affected.
7. Risks to human health will increase.

Harmful health impacts of climate change are related to increasing heat stress, waterborne diseases, poor air quality, extreme weather events, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Reduced cold stress provides some benefits. Robust public health infrastructure can reduce the potential for negative impacts.
8. Climate change will interact with many social and environmental stresses.
Climate change will combine with pollution, population growth, overuse of resources, urbanization, and other social, economic, and environmental stresses to create larger impacts than from any of these factors alone.
9. Thresholds will be crossed, leading to large changes in climate and ecosystems.
There are a variety of thresholds in the climate system and ecosystems. These thresholds determine, for example, the presence of sea ice and permafrost, and the survival of species, from fish to insect pests, with implications for society. With further climate change, the crossing of additional thresholds is expected.
10. Future climate change and its impacts depend on choices made today.
The amount and rate of future climate change depend primarily on current and future human-caused emissions of heat-trapping gases and airborne particles. Responses involve reducing emissions to limit future warming, and adapting to the changes that are unavoidable. For more on that, please see the Actions page on this website.


Pushing the Boundaries of Life: Mid-latitudes
The myriad creatures and plants with whom we share this planet are intimately tied to their habitat and zone of temperature, precipitation or ocean current. As mean temperatures rise, and climate is affected, living things have no choice but to react -- to move or adapt. On earlier pages, this Web site documents some of these changes in polar regions, where climate change is very dramatic

The same changes are at play in the mid latitudes, also. It is very clear that huge changes in biodiversity and individual creatures are happening now -- and many are accelerating.

In the past few years, scientists have published a large number of studies showing strong correlations between climate change and animal and plant range changes. The latest of these were published in the IPCC reports of 2007, based on peer-reviewed journal studies going back to January 2003 and 2004 in the journal Nature.

In one of the largest of these far-reaching peer-reviewed articles, an international group of scientists has predicted that by mid century up to a third of land plants and animal species may be pushed close to extinction. The study, "Extinction risk from climate change," measured the responses to current change and habitat limits of 1103 species in many habitats, and found that climate change is "...likely to be the greatest threat in many if not most regions." The scientists wrote that these climate effects and the damage being caused by over-grazing, over-fishing, and over-use of the planet are “strengthening the hypothesis that the natural world is experiencing the sixth major extinction event in its history.”

Nature also published an analysis of studies of more than 1,700 species indicating significant range shifts averaging 6.1 km per decade towards the poles. It reported that natural springtime events are occurring earlier by 2.3 days per decade in the late 20th century. A second analysis of 143 studies shows a significant impact of global warming is already discernible in animal and plant populations.

The IPCC review of changes to ecosystems and human habitations (see this website, section "About Global Warming") looked at over 650 studies of changes to the Earth and its inhabitants, which included 29,436 sets of long-term observations. They confirmed that effects of temperature increases are pervasive across the globe and that, in the words of Cynthia Rosenzweig, a NASA scientist who took part, “the changes have intensified.” They tallied ongoing habitat changes, landscape alterations, and loss of
biodiversity on every continent.

As changes proceed, many species will be able to shift their range or alter their behavior in response, and that is already leading to shifts in diseases, loss of agricultural production, and ecosystem alterations that affect human life. But some, perhaps many, species will
be blocked because they’ve run out of mountain or island, because potentially suitable habitat has been
destroyed, or because they can’t move fast enough. What will become of the familiar habitat associations
of Earth or the biodiversity and genetic flexibility they contain?

Unfortunately, ecosystems are unlikely to stay intact. “Communities of species do not move together,”
according to conservation biologist Thomas Lovejoy. “[Species] move individually at different
rates and in different directions.” As climate change intensifies, the life zones and ecological
associations familiar to us from introductory biology courses, represented by multicolored bands
splashed across world maps, are not going to move in synchrony. Rather, they will deform unevenly as
the plants and animals within them react in varying ways. No less than the ice shelves of Antarctica and
the permafrost of the Arctic, ecosystems worldwide are rending and disintegrating. With this, the rich
biodiversity of Earth, the flow of life that humans rely on, is threatened.

Alpine meadow and fell-field ecosystems are changing under atmospheric warming. On this site at 3000 meters in the Austrian Alps, Botanist Harald Pauli and researchers are finding plant species increasing and decreasing at different rates over a 10 year period. Essentially, the familiar alpine wildflower fields are being fragmented and rearranged. This is especially dangerous for plants forced to move upwards where there is just rock and ice, says Pauli. "We are running into a really serious loss of biodiversity." The 380 sites here were established in 1994 by Georg Grabherr, Pauli and others at the University of Vienna. This alpine research idea has expanded world wide into GLORIA - the "Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments."

The glaciers behind the scientists are an even more visible sign of global

            

 

 

Biologist Camille Parmesan compared old records of the Edith’s checkerspot butterfly against current habitat from Mexico to Canada and found that the insect had moved its habitat slightly north in response to climate warming. She found the level of population extinctions is four times as high at the far southern end of the range (Mexico) than at the northern. This change in a sensitive insect was predicted from the twentieth century warming of about 1 degree F. The butterfly pictured is laying eggs on Collinsia, an annual plant of Sierra Nevada high meadows. Annual plants are more affected by weather shifts, and this is one of the factors in the butterfly population shifting as climate changes the habitat of both animals and their host plants.                                   

Dr. Parmesan later collaborated with many

European biologists and lepidopterists to

show that 2/3 of butterfly species with

long observational records had shifted

northward by from 22 to 150 miles,

consistent with temperature increases in

Europe. No butterflies were found to have

shifted to the south.

Parmesan has found many locations in

Southern France with apparently

intact food-plant habitat that no longer

have well known butterflies like the Apollo

(Parnassius apollo)..
