• Three techniques animals use to migrate.

Migration Techniques

Migration Techniques• PILOTING:

Migration Techniques• PILOTING:• When an animals moves from one familiar landmark to another

until it reaches its destination.

Migration Techniques• PILOTING:• When an animals moves from one familiar landmark to another

until it reaches its destination.

• ORIENTATION:

Migration Techniques• PILOTING:• When an animals moves from one familiar landmark to another

until it reaches its destination.

• ORIENTATION:• Animals can detect compass directions and travels in a particular

straight line path for a certain distance or until it reaches its destination.

• NAVIGATION:• When one determines one’s present location relative to other

locations, in addition to orientation.

Types of Migration

Types of Migration• Seasonal Migration:

Types of Migration• Seasonal Migration:• Migration that corresponds with the changing of seasons. • Most migrations are seasonal migrations.

• Latitudinal Migration:• Movement of animals from North to South.

• Altitudinal Migration:

Types of Migration• Seasonal Migration:• Migration that corresponds with the changing of seasons. • Most migrations are seasonal migrations.

• Latitudinal Migration:• Movement of animals from North to South.

• Altitudinal Migration:• The movement of animals up and down land features, like

mountains.

Types of Migration

Types of Migration• Reproduction Migration:

Types of Migration• Reproduction Migration:• The migration of animals to bear young.

Types of Migration• Reproduction Migration:• The migration of animals to bear young.

• Removal Migration:

Types of Migration• Reproduction Migration:• The migration of animals to bear young.

• Removal Migration:• Migration of animals that don’t return to the original area.

Types of Migration• Reproduction Migration:• The migration of animals to bear young.

• Removal Migration:• Migration of animals that don’t return to the original area.

• Complete Migration:

Types of Migration• Reproduction Migration:• The migration of animals to bear young.

• Removal Migration:• Migration of animals that don’t return to the original area.

• Complete Migration:• When almost all members of the species leave their breeding

range during the non-breeding season.
