Animal Migration and Infectious Disease Risk

open access: yesScience, 2011
Animal migrations are often spectacular, and migratory species harbor zoonotic pathogens of importance to humans. Animal migrations are expected to enhance the global spread of pathogens and facilitate cross-species transmission. This does happen, but new research has also shown that migration allows hosts to escape from infected habitats, reduces ...

Animal migration optimization: an optimization algorithm inspired by animal migration behavior

Neural Computing and Applications, 2013
In this paper, we intend to propose a new heuristic optimization method, called animal migration optimization algorithm. This algorithm is inspired by the animal migration behavior, which is a ubiquitous phenomenon that can be found in all major animal groups, such as birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and crustaceans.

Viewing animal migration through a social lens

open access: yesTrends in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Evidence of social learning is growing across the animal kingdom. Researchers have long hypothesized that social interactions play a key role in many animal migrations, but strong empirical support is scarce except in a few unique systems and species. In

Animal Migrations

2022
A reindeer treks a continent under unimaginable weather extremes. One tiny bird flies non-stop for nine days, while another flies from the North to South Pole (and back!) every year. A whale swims through the oceans of a hemisphere. Animal Migrations: Flying, Walking, Swimming offers a fascinating insight into the what, where, why and
