Migration is a complex behaviour that evolved independently and repeatedly across the animal kingdom and is vitally important in shaping population dynamics and ecosystem processes. However, migration events have started to disappear primarily due to climate change and other anthropogenic factors. This has led to an urgency to understand the internal drivers of migration, with an emphasis on genomic architecture and physiological mechanisms. The goal of such assessments is to evaluate whether populations can cope with anthropogenic and environmental changes to their migratory routes.

迁徙是一种复杂的行为，在动物王国中独立和重复地进化，在塑造种群动态和生态系统过程中至关重要。然而，主要由于气候变化和其他人为因素，移徙事件已开始消失。这导致迫切需要了解迁移的内部驱动因素，重点是基因组结构和生理机制。这种评估的目的是评价人口是否能够科普其迁徙路线的人为和环境变化。
