Lincoln Brower, champion for monarchs

Abstract

Lincoln Pierson Brower died in Virginia, USA, on July 17, 2018 at the age of 86. Many of the authors of papers in this special volume worked directly with Lincoln, and all were influenced by his work. In particular, for the past three decades, Lincoln worked extensively with his wife Linda Fink, who helped him in field research, in discussing monarch biology, and in critiquing all his written work. Multiple eulogies to Lincoln have been published; here, we describe ways in which Lincoln influenced us as scientists and the worlds of monarch science and conservation, from early in his career until its end.
