pääsiirtomuotoa
Pääsiirtomuotoa is a Finnish term that translates to "main migration form" or "primary migratory phase." It is often used in ecological contexts to describe the principal period or strategy by which a species moves from one habitat to another, typically for breeding, feeding, or overwintering. This term acknowledges that while a species may have multiple migratory movements throughout its life cycle or across different populations, there is usually a dominant, defining migration that is crucial for its survival and reproduction.
The concept of pääsiirtomuotoa is particularly relevant when studying bird migration, but it can also apply
