Abstract:
Animals and birds migrate for food and to reproduce. However, it's the \"how they do it\" that is the question researchers haven't answered yet. Some birds make 6,000-mile roundtrips; whales cross oceans; and monarch butterflies fly down to Mexico. All follow the routes of their ancestors, but the \"how\" remains.

Abstract:
The woodpecker is the only animal that has the ability to carve out a habitat with its own natural features. The Red-cockaded woodpecker, the Northern flicker, and the pileated woodpecker, just a few of the native species to North Carolina, carve out habitats that can then be used by other species in the area.

Abstract:
Barrier islands must constantly rebuild themselves, else they will soon disappear. Islands migrate to the west, and winds and ocean overwash are critical factors in this movement. Lloyd discusses how construction on the Outer Banks inhibits these two factors and how this will affect the islands' survival.
