Description
Summary:Habitat is a space that contains the physical and biological characteristics that allows to the survival and reproduction of a species. Each species has habitat preferences according to complex interaction between its biological requirements and environmental conditions, as well as their behaviors. These variables are difficult to determine for some species, but it is more complicated for migratory marine mammals, like the humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). El hábitat es el espacio que contiene las características físicas y biológicas que permite la supervivencia y reproducción de una especie. Cada especie tiene preferencias de hábitat según la compleja interacción entre sus requerimientos biológicos y condiciones ambientales, así como sus comportamientos. Estas variables son difíciles de determinar para algunas especies, pero es más complicado para mamíferos marinos migratorios, como las ballenas jorobadas (Megaptera novaeangliae).
