In routine migrations (like the monarchs to and from Mexico and salmon to their spawning grounds) the migration is innate; in most r-species --those with large broods and little parental care after birth -- migration will occur regardless if there is an adult that has undergone migration to teach them.

In k-species -- small broods and intensive parental care, like humans or elephants -- migration must be taught, though these are considerably less intensive migrations, and are frequently within the same habitat, unlike the migrations mentioned above in which the animals move to a different climate
