Animals move from one place to another because of climate changes, the availability of food, or to ensure reproduction. Another reason for migration would perhaps be to complete a lifetime (for example; salmon). For more information: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761557464/Animal_Migration.html#s1

∙ 15y agoThere are different types of migration, such as weather migration, mating migration, and food migration. Weather migration is when animals migrate to a different are than what they're living in if it is eaither too hot or cold. Mating migration only applies to animals that live together with the same sex only. When mating season comes, the animals migrate until they meet each other and then they mate. Food migration is when the are that an animal is living in runs low on food. So, the animal migrates to a different are that has more food.

What is the term for the movement of organisms from one place to another?
In the living world, the movements are diverse. The movement of animals is a migration. For example, there is seasonal migration of migratory birds or vertical migration of soil insects. The movement of single-celled organisms is a taxis (movement of the entire body to or from the stimulus). Movement is not always associated with the ability to move, so the pollen of plants is carried by the wind or insects. Cell movements are most often associated with the organelles of movement (flagella, cilia), but they can also move passively or with someone's help.
