Overview

In ecology and Wildlife biology, migration is the regular, often seasonal, large-scale movement of animals between distinct habitats, typically driven by the search for food, breeding grounds, or favorable environmental conditions. It is a widespread strategy across birds, mammals, fish, and insects, ranging from latitudinal and altitudinal movements to long-distance oceanic and continental journeys, and it is shaped by cues such as photoperiod, temperature, and resource availability. Migration is central to the life history and survival of many species, influencing population structure, gene flow, and connectivity among ecosystems, while exposing migrants to anthropogenic threats including habitat fragmentation, barriers, and changing climate. Its study integrates field observation, tracking, population census, and modeling of movement and demography, and intersects with conservation, since the protection of migratory species requires safeguarding habitats across their entire range. Research relevant to this area examines the migration status, anthropogenic threats, and conservation of wild ungulates, factors affecting Atlantic salmon populations, and the importance of supporting krill-to-whale components of pelagic food webs along migratory routes following seamounts. The term also describes movement in other contexts, including cellular migration in wound healing and human population dynamics. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on Wildlife and ecology, addressing animal movement, migratory behavior, and the conservation of migratory species and their habitats.
