Of course, in the southern hemisphere, the directions are reversed, but there is less land area in the far south to support long-distance migration. [19] The primary motivation for migration appears to be food; for example, some hummingbirds choose not to migrate if fed through the winter. [20]
A few hundred species migrate long distances, in some cases of thousands of kilometres. About 120 species of fish, including several species of salmon, migrate between saltwater and freshwater (they are 'diadromous'). [22] [23] Forage fish such as herring and capelin migrate around substantial parts of the North Atlantic ocean.
The mallard has hybridised with more than 40 species in the wild, and an additional 20 species in captivity, [13] though fertile hybrids typically have two Anas parents. [14] Mallards and their domestic conspecifics are fully interfertile; many wild mallard populations in North America contain significant amounts of domestic mallard DNA. [15] [16]
