Description

Animal migration is an important ecological phenomenon where species move long distances to improve their living conditions. This behaviour is seen in birds, fish and mammals and is often driven by seasonal changes and environmental factors. Many birds migrate to warmer areas during winter to find food and better climates. They are guided by instincts, environmental signals like daylight changes and the Earth's magnetic field. Migration is crucial for survival and reproduction, ensuring access to necessary resources, suitable breeding grounds and favourable climates. Despite challenges like predators and harsh weather, migration remains an essential strategy for many species to thrive and sustain their populations. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of animal migration. It presents research and studies performed by experts across the globe. Also, it aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
