animal migration
Let an agent explain animal migration, relay patterns, navigation, ecology and conservation from ecology and ornithology sources, describe the kinds the registry aliases name, and distinguish migration from dispersal, nomadism, irruption and somatic migration of parasites.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain animal migration, relay patterns, navigation, ecology and conservation from ecology and ornithology sources, describe the kinds the registry aliases name, and distinguish migration from dispersal, nomadism, irruption and somatic migration of parasites.
The regular, often seasonal movement of animals from one region to another, typically between breeding and feeding grounds, as in bird migration, fish migration including spawning migrations of salmon and eels, insect migration such as that of monarch butterflies and other Lepidoptera, and mammal migrations such as wildebeest; the registry alias somatic migration names the movement of parasite larvae within a host body, a different parasitological sense.
What it is for: Not applicable; an animal behaviour.
It can be explain patterns and navigation; relay ecology and conservation; describe kinds; distinguish related movements.
Distinguishing features
Regular and directed
Seasonal cycles
Navigation abilities
Conservation challenges
What it looks like
Not a visible object; flocks, herds and swarms moving across landscapes.
Physical character
Arctic tern round trip: about 70000 km - per year, tracked
monarch migration: up to about 4000 km
Serengeti wildebeest: over 1 million - animals
How it is recognised
Regular movement between regions
Seasonal migration, spawning migration, fish, insect and Lepidoptera migration; somatic migration as parasitological
Dispersal is one-way; nomadism is irregular; irruptions are occasional; somatic migration occurs inside hosts

- The registry alias somatic migration is a different sense and should be detached
