Résumé :
|
Part one defines migration, gives examples, and places migration in the spectrum of movement behaviors, concluding with a chapter on methods for its study. Part two focuses on proximate mechanisms, including physiology and morphology, the interactions between migration and win and current patterns, and the various orientation and navigation mechanisms by which migrants find their way about. Part three, on the evolution of migration life histories, addresses the evolutionary and ecological basis for migration and the roles of migration not only in the lives of organisms, but also in the ecological communities in which they live. Part four is devoted to a brief consideration of migration and its relation to pest management and conservation.
