Brooks and his team hope to turn next to more butterflies and to other organisms that populate the food web. By studying comparable phenological data in the museum's flowering plants, upon which Lepidoptera feed, and birds, which rely on Lepidoptera for food, they can piece together a more complete picture of how climate change is impacting entire communities-and whether they are falling out of synchrony.
