Migration or Adaptation

The book begins by establishing a foundation in evolutionary biology and climate science, then progresses through the mechanisms of migration and adaptation. A unique aspect of this book is its integrated approach, viewing migration and adaptation not as distinct options but as elements of a broader response. For instance, genomic analyses reveal the genetic basis of adaptation, while ecological studies highlight the factors enabling or constraining movement.

Drawing on long-term studies, experimental research, and climate modeling, the book synthesizes evidence across diverse ecosystems. It concludes by discussing implications for conservation policy, emphasizing integrated strategies that consider both migration potential and adaptation limits. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of species resilience, vital for researchers, conservation professionals, and policymakers alike.
