Avian migration is a significant phenomenon in biodiversity, and genetic diversity during migration is crucial for the adaptability and survival of species. This review begins by introducing the diversity of avian migration behavior and the pivotal role of genetic diversity. It then delves into analyzing the impact of climate change on avian migration, particularly focusing on the influence of rising temperatures on migration patterns and habitats. The review explores the potential effects of these changes on the genetic diversity of birds. It also discusses genetic adaptation and changes, revealing the survival strategies adopted by birds in response to climate change. Furthermore, it examines the response of genetic diversity in avian migration, including its relationship with adaptability, gene flow, migration paths, and genomic stability. These analyses are crucial for better understanding the dynamic changes in genetic diversity during avian migration, leading to the development of more effective conservation policies and ecosystem management. Through in-depth exploration, we can better protect and preserve avian migration, ensuring its continued prosperity in the face of challenges posed by climate change.
