About this ebook
Migrating Animals explores the incredible journeys undertaken by wildlife across the globe, revealing the biological, environmental, and evolutionary factors that drive these behaviors. Readers will discover how animals navigate vast distances, sometimes spanning continents or oceans, and the physiological adaptations that enable such feats. For example, some birds can fly thousands of miles nonstop, while whales undertake epic oceanic voyages. Understanding these migrations is crucial, as they influence species distribution, disease spread, and ecosystem health.
The book traces the evolution of migration study, from early observations to modern tracking technologies like satellite telemetry. It emphasizes that migration is not just a behavioral trait but a complex interaction of genetics, physiology, and environmental adaptation. Chapters progress from defining migration and exploring physiological adaptations to examining environmental drivers and the impact of human activities. This approach offers a comprehensive overview of the vulnerabilities migratory species face due to habitat loss and climate change, highlighting the urgent need for conservation.
