À certaines périodes de l'année, des espèces de toute taille et de toute forme, depuis le minuscule copépode jusqu'à l'énorme rorqual bleu, s'embarquent dans un périple long et difficile.Qu'est-ce qui oblige ces créatures à parcourir des milliers de kilomètres ? Comment arrivent-elles à s'orienter et à naviguer avec une telle précision au-dessus des terres comme sous les mers ? Les migrations peuvent-elles s'arrêter ? Comment les animaux parviennent-ils à survivre à des voyages qui durent parfois plusieurs mois ? Certaines espèces sont-elles plus aptes à la migration que d'autres ? Sujet de fascination depuis des centaines d'années, la migration, par ses nombreux aspects inexpliqués, continue à laisser perplexe scientifiques et naturalistes. Etonnantes Migrations nous transporte à travers tous les continents à la poursuite de 50 migrations remarquables comme celles des ours blancs, des gnous, des oiseaux des iguanes ou des requins. L'ouvrage est composé de quatre parties. La première détaille les grandes lignes de la migration, de ses mécanismes et de sa raison d'être. Elle explore l'ensemble des stratégies d'orientation dont disposent les animaux, l'évolution du comportement migratoire et les menaces croissantes auxquelles font désormais face les animaux migrateurs. Les parties suivantes examinent, à partir d'exemples, les migrations terrestres, aquatiques et aériennes. Pour chaque espèce, une fiche de migration résume les informations pratiques essentielles, une carte illustre les routes migratoires empruntées en différentes saisons et un encadré approfondit un aspect d'intérêt particulier de la migration ou du cycle de vie de l'animal.
