The spontaneous movement of animals across a range of spatial and temporal scales can contribute to the survival of a species. Migration of individuals maintains gene fluxes between populations and protects from the risk of extinction. In the current changing global climate, the ability to migrate enables a species to keep pace with rapid environmental changes by moving towards a more hospitable habitat
