The term "migrate" has been deployed across literature in a variety of contexts, from the literal movement of organisms to the figurative migrations of people and ideas. In scientific and naturalistic writings, migration describes tangible movements—whether it’s a parasite that “can’t have had time to migrate too far” [1] or seasonal journeys like those of village buffaloes [2]. In more reflective works, such as by Thoreau [3] and Poe [4, 5], migration becomes a metaphorical quest or a time-honored custom, evoking images of existential transition and cyclical tradition. Sociological and historical texts expand the usage further by linking migration to social and economic mobility, as seen when peoples move in search of improved living conditions [6] or urban opportunities [7, 8], while Darwin [9] uses the term to illustrate natural processes that shape species survival. Even classical and linguistic sources [10, 11] incorporate migration in contexts of deliberate relocation or cultural movement, underscoring the broad semantic range the word has acquired over time.
