Synopsis

Migration is one of the most fascinating and dramatic of all animal behaviours. Historically, study of migration has been fragmented, with ornithologists, entomologists, and marine biologists working exclusively within their own field. This criticial treatment of the subject makes comparisons across taxa and looks at migratory life cycles and the relation of migration to other movements. This is an integrated ecological perspective which focuses on migration and a biological phenomenon.
