Technological advances offer new ways to study the impact of climate and genetic variation on the migration of peregrine falcons. Will this help future bird migration research?
Migration is a highly universal feature of the animal kingdom, which, understandably, has been more extensively studied in relation to birds. In the article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03265-0) researchers offer an insight into the potential conditions that drive bird migration (its evolution), reflecting this in their study of the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus). Peregrine falcons are mostly known for their flight speed (over 320 km/h) when diving for prey.
...it is more important than ever to uncover the mechanisms regulating migration, given that continuous global changes—whether they affect climate or habitats—are creating unprecedented and unusual conditions for both migratory birds and for people striving to conserve the migration of endangered animals...
