Animal Migration
Migration is a fascinating phenomenon that can contribute to the fundamental structuring of ecosystems. This seminal volume synthesises insights from both mathematical modelling and empirical research in order to generate a unified understanding of the mechanisms underlying migration.
Animal Migration
Migration is one of the most fascinating and dramatic of all animal behaviors. From insects and birds to reindeer and giant whales, many animals fly, swim, walk, and even hitchhike in search of better food, milder climate, or suitable mate. Some cross entire oceans; a few even circle the globe. These marathon journeys animals take are filled with great tests of physical strength and endurance - as well as danger and sometimes death. In ""Animal Migration"", learn why animals are compelled to migrate and the various patterns and cycles of their migrations.
How Animals Migrate
Explains how animals use natural light, scent, and the Earth's magnetic field to find their way when they migrate, discusses the effects of humans on migration patterns, and describes walrus migration as an example of the process.
What Is Animal Migration?
A V-shaped flock of geese flying overhead on a fall or winter’s day is a familiar sight to most of us. But, as this vibrant volume shows, there are numerous other animals that also migrate for various lengths of time and for various reasons. Colorful photographs allow readers to follow birds, zebras, whales, turtles, and more as they migrate to find food, shelter, breeding grounds, or more suitable climates. Readers will learn how air, land, and water migration differ, what landmarks and senses animals rely on to get them from place to place, and why migration is essential for survival.
Animal Migration
Discuss different types of migrating animals and they amazing routes they travel during migration.
Animal Migration
Some animals migrate thousands of miles each year. This book introduces readers to the concept of animal migration and answers many questions about where animals go and why. Readers will learn about some of the most famous migratory animals in the world, from wildebeests to Monarch butterflies. Brilliant photographs of migrating animals are sure to bring this science concept to life. Readers are sure to be in awe of the great migrations that occur around the world each year.

Animal Migration
This spectacular guide explores the mysteries of animal migration over land, in the oceans, and through the air. Lavishly illustrated with two hundred photographs and maps, Animal Migration highlights specific conservation issues while tracing the routes of some one hundred species of animal with examples on every continent. Ben Hoare explains how animals migrate, either as parts of mass migration or in individual journeys, and describes in fascinating detail their navigation, reproduction, and feeding strategies. He also brings to life migrations that stand out for their extraordinary challenges such as those that take animals unthinkable distances across hostile or barren territory. Designed for easy browsing or in-depth study, Animal Migration concludes with a supplementary catalog of migrants, adding the routes of an additional two hundred animals, and is an invaluable addition to any nature lover's library.

On the Move
In On the Move: Animal Migration, students will learn why and how animals travel to adapt and survive. Young readers will love turning the page as they gain valuable information and are prompted to answer questions along the way. Take a fantastic photo journey into the wild with Rourke’s Close-Up on Amazing Animals for readers in grades K–3. Readers will explore the unique adaptations and relationships that help animals survive in the wild. Repetitive text aids comprehension while real photographs assist in vocabulary development for beginning readers.
Animal Migration, Orientation and Navigation
Animal Migration, Orientation, and Navigation presents the various aspects of animal migration, including the evolution of migration, climatic and meteorological influences, and bioenergetics. This book discusses the physiological control, sensory systems, orientation and navigation, and biological clocks and phenology aspects of animal migration. Organized into five chapters, this book begins with an overview of the migration strategies of animals in the context of a space continuum. This text then explains the influence of short- and long-term climatic cycles on the spectrum of migratory patterns in nature. Other chapters consider the energetic requirements of different migration strategies and the energy stores of the migrants. This book discusses as well the physiological basis of animal migration, with emphasis on endocrinal findings on the timing and energetic aspects of different migration strategies. The final chapter deals with the mechanisms used in direction finding by migrating animals. This book is a valuable resource for biologists and ecologists.
