Migration00:53

Migration

7.9K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype02:27

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

6.5K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Gene Flow02:39

Gene Flow

35.1K
Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.

Cell Migration01:09

Cell Migration

17.0K
Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

Evolutionary Psychology

269
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

31
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Human migration is influenced by environmental factors, not just social and economic ones. Incorporating environmental context into migration research provides more accurate models and projections, especially concerning climate change.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Sociology
  • Human Geography
  • Migration Studies

Background:

  • Human migration is a complex social process requiring continuous theoretical evaluation.
  • Environmental contexts increasingly influence social and ecological realities, impacting migration patterns.
  • Contemporary research often overlooks the natural environment's role in migration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reflect on the role of the natural environment in contemporary migration research and theory.
  • To examine how environmental shifts affect established migration theories.
  • To highlight the need for integrating environmental factors into migration scholarship.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of evidence on environmental influences on migration.
  • Analysis of core migration theories (neoclassical, systems, push-pull, new economics of labor migration).
  • Discussion of implications for climate change scenarios and migration projections.

Main Results:

  • Neglecting environmental factors leads to misspecified migration models, overemphasizing social and economic drivers.
  • Ignoring migration theory in climate change scenarios results in simplistic "climate refugee" projections.
  • Environmental contexts are increasingly consequential to migration.

Conclusions:

  • Migration models must accurately reflect the complexity of drivers, including the environment.
  • Accurate scholarship on migration, especially concerning climate change, necessitates environmental considerations.
  • Researchers have an obligation to integrate environmental factors into migration studies.
