| | Bird migration - definition of Bird migration in Encyclopedia |
| | First, the largely uninterrupted expanses of land mass or ocean tend not to funnel migrations into narrow and obvious pathways, making them less obvious to the human observer. | | | This means that massive numbers of large raptors and storks pass through areas such as Gibraltar, Falsterbo and the Bosphorus at migration times. | | | An example is the migration of continental populations of Swainson's Thrush, which fly far east across North America before turning south via Florida to reach northern South America; this route is believed to be the consequence of a range expansion that occurred about 10,000 years ago. |

| | Our Species Mated With Other Human Species, Study Says |
| | Summary In a new study that's bound to be controversial, a scientist offers what he says is convincing genetic evidence that humans left Africa in at least three waves of migration and interbred with archaic humans outside of Africa, rather than displacing them. | | | The second area of controversy is whether modern humans completely replaced archaic forms of humans, or whether the process was one of assimilation, with interbreeding between the two groups. | | | Unlike Templeton's assertions, the "Out of Africa" theory does not support the idea of interbreeding between archaic and modern humans. |

| | Genetic - definition of Genetic in Encyclopedia |
| | Humans began applying knowledge of genetics in prehistory with the domestication and breeding of plants and animals. | | | The foundational discipline is population genetics which studies the distribution of and change in allele frequencies of genes under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and migration. | | | They are chiefly distinguished by a common theme of studying populations of organisms drawn from nature but differ somewhat in the choice of which aspect of the organism on which they focus. |

| | Our policy on international migration focuses on the human rights of migrants, protection for asylum-seekers, opposition to uncontrolled and illegal migration, support for anti-trafficking efforts, and encouragement of the rapid integration of legal immigrants. | | | One of the Bureau's key strategies for advancing effective and humane migration policies is to support and participate in regional migration dialogues, such as the Regional Conference on Migration. | | | The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) works closely with the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Labor, and relevant international organizations, the International Organization on Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to advance U.S. migration policy goals. |

| | Ideas Bank - Using ODA to compensate migrant sending countries |
| | Since the benefits of such migration accrue largely to receiving countries, some sort of mechanism should be developed that could at least partially compensate the country of origin for its human capital loss. | | | Driven by considerable disparity in working conditions between Africa and countries of emigration, the brain drain is crippling African economies and diminishing human resources. | | | Although individual migrants and their families tend to gain from migration in terms of economic security, the same cannot be claimed for their country of origin. |

| | Migration remains very much the exception rather than the rule of human behavior. | | | The developmental impact of the brain drain is most severe in source countries with weak human resource bases, where educational systems are not capable of replacing those who emigrate. | | | These and other factors add up to a heightened consciousness about the importance of migration as a force of globalization and economic change. |

| | The Human Genome Diversity project |
| | There seem to be two main scientific objectives to the project: a) to trace the evolution and migration of different human populations, with the hope of creating a definitive 'family tree' of human populations; b)to identify genes which confer resistance and vulnerability to disease, and use these to develop medical treatments and tests. | | | The Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) aims to collect biological samples from different population groups throughout the world, with the aim of building up a representative database of human genetic diversity. | | | Combined with liberal naivete is the scientist's arrogant intellectual superiority, which leads the project into patronising assertions, such as: 'Many people have a limited understanding of human genetic research and consequently are fearful of it. |

| | Primordial Germ Cell Migration |
| | In addition, the regulation of PGC migration in zebrafish through the attraction by SDF-1 is relevant for the regulation of cell movement in human diseases; for example when T-cells accumulate in synovium of rheumatoid arthritis patients, or when breast cancer cells metastasize to tissues expressing SDF-1 like the bone marrow, liver and lung. | | | We demonstrated that CXCR4 is expressed in the PGCs of zebrafish throughout their migration, enabling them to sense and move towards regions in the embryo expressing high levels of SDF-1. | | | Identification of the molecular cues governing cell migration is of major importance for the understanding of tissue and organ development and for therapy in cases of diseases resulting from aberrant cell movement. |

| | Key step allowing cell migration |
| | CHAPEL HILL -- University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have discovered a prime regulator of the mechanism by which human cells migrate in health and in illness, a process crucial to sustaining life. | | | "Cell migration is involved in a variety of normal and pathological events in life, including embryo development, wound healing and the abnormal, life-threatening movement of cancer cells that doctors call metastasis," Jacobson said. | | | He and colleagues showed for the first time that an important enzyme known as JNK, which is involved in many cell regulatory pathways, also controls a central and complex step in the biochemical process. |

| | The key elements that should inspire migration policy within the EU are: a comprehensive approach to migration, addressing political, human rights and development issues in countries and regions of origin and transit; partnership with countries of origin and transit; management of migration flows; and prevention of all forms of trafficking in human beings. | | | Migration is a structural feature of human society, and should be dealt with in an appropriate legal framework, which is not universally the case in Europe. | | | Clandestine migration is a complex phenomenon: it includes smuggling of migrants and trafficking of people, raises human rights issues as well as economic and welfare considerations, and is inextricably linked with economic and development disparities among states. |

| | The taxation of the migration legitimised by the non-pecuniary externalities of subsidised human capital production in the emigration country assumes that the migrants are able to transfer at least a part of their human capital - acquired in the home country - into the immigration countries. | | | Only in that case we have some non-pecuniary externalities of migration that give a reason for taxing migrants and for remitting the taxes to the countries of origin where the human capital has been produced with public subsidies. | | | The problem with the brain drain tax proposal is that it does not take into account the net gains of immigration in the receiving countries, the possibility of return migration and the beneficial effects of remittances and the acquisition of human capital in the case of temporary migration. |
