By Land, Air, and Water – USGS Science Supporting Fish and Wildlife Migrations Throughout North America 

Countless species of animals – big game, birds, bats, insects, amphibians, reptiles, and fish – migrate to reach suitable habitats to feed, reproduce, and raise their young. Animal migrations developed over millennia oftentimes follow migration corridors—unique routes for each species and sometimes each population—to move among seasonal habitats.  Check out the work USGS scientists are doing to help understand wildlife migration and how this science benefits wildlife and habitat conservation.
