Advantages of migration behaviors-biology
- Return to specialist site for breeding that does not need all year round food supply, and often no (or few) predators.
- Move to where food/prey available when not breeding, particularly with young (i.e. maximize feeding opportunity).
- Stationary can mean increased predator risk.
- Constant temperature conditions: escape bad weather and lower temperatures (and greater risk of death), especially to give birth.
- Able to have specialist breeding site (e.g. no predators) and another site for feeding.
- Flexible strategy – some members of the species can migrate and others not depending on where live.
- Stationary animals risk exhausting food supply using it all year round, particularly if competition from other species.
- Opportunity for different members of the species to meet, and greater breeding variety
- Ideal when specialist food required because the earth’s resources are not evenly distributed.
- Birds migrating at night usually safe from predators as few day-time birds of prey adapt to night-time hunting.
