Question

What evolved, adapted response to resource availability is the long-range seasonal movement of animals?

Answer 1

migration

Migration Migration is the long-range seasonal movement of animals. It is an evolved, adapted response to variation in resource availability, and it is a common phenomenon found in all major groups of animals. Birds fly south for the winter to get to warmer climates with sufficient food, and salmon migrate to their spawning grounds. The popular 2005 documentary March of the Penguins followed the 62-mile migration of emperor penguins through Antarctica to bring food back to their breeding site and to their young. Wildebeests  Figure 45.35  migrate over 1800 miles each year in search of new grasslands.
