Movement, migration, and survival in nature
These scientific and educational resources explore the biological mechanisms and ecological significance of animal movement and survival. One primary focus is how body mass and metabolic efficiency allowed ancient megafauna to endure rapid environmental shifts, though many eventually faced extinction. Recent marine research further demonstrates that physiological health, such as lipid levels in blue sharks, directly dictates how far and how fast predators can travel through the ocean. While some species like humpback whales maintain highly precise routes during migration, other animals may…
