On the migratory processes of different living organisms was heavily influenced by evolution. To such conclusion came scientists from Canada.
Previously, it was assumed that the main reason that prompted organisms to migrate, there were changes in climatic environment. New experiments allow us to assert that migration has caused evolution.
It forced existing organisms all the time to expand the area of their habitat in order to not only survive, but thrive on. So they looked for areas more suitable for their existence. In their experiments, the researchers raised together plants with more and less severe evolution. Plants that evolved spread their seeds further by 11 percent, compared to less developing.
The latest experiments have proven that evolutionary processes most strongly influenced by migration. Previously, the effect of evolution is also not excluded, but were considered insignificant.
