Commigration

/ˌkɒmɪˈɡreɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act or process of migrating together or at the same time; joint migration of populations or groups.

Etymology

From com- ('together') + migration (from Latin migrare, 'to move'). This is a relatively rare term formed by productive English affixes applied to the common word 'migration'.

Kelly Says

Climate scientists study commigration patterns to understand how entire ecosystems shift together as habitats change — it's not just species moving independently but complex communities relocating as units.
