Ecology
Migration
The seasonal movement of animals from one region to another, typically for feeding or breeding. Migration can cover thousands of miles and involve precise navigation.
Biological Context
Migration allows organisms to exploit resources in different locations at different times. Birds, fish, mammals, and insects all migrate. Migration requires energy reserves, navigational ability, and timing coordination. Climate change is disrupting traditional migration patterns.
Business Application
Business migration: moving operations, talent, or focus to follow opportunities. Companies migrate to new markets, technologies, or business models. Like biological migration, business migration requires resources, navigation skills, and timing.
