Dear all , 
Does any of you have access to following articles ? 
If yes please send the articles to my e-mail id. 
Right now I am studying the migration of 2 species tirumala septentrionis
and eulpoea Sylvester in Southern part of India. These species migrate
between Western ghats and Plains.
To get more information on our migration you can go through this link -
http://www.geocities.com/kishan_nie/migration.html
The following  articles on monarch might help me in doing the comparative
studies of monarchs with my Indian butterflies. 
If any of you have any suggestion please let me know.Last week I have been
to a place in western ghats where I saw the congregation of males of
tirumala septentrionis , euploea sylvester and euploea core feeding on the
crotalaria spp. I am attaching its photo.
regards,
