An internatinal team f researchers frm the University f Oxfrd have fund that the way peple use the Internet is clsely tied t the seasnal mvements in the natural wrld. Their nline species searches fllw the patterns f seasnal animal migratins (迁徙)．
Migratry birds (候鸟) fld back t where they reprduce every spring. That migratry behavir is accmpanied by sme human behavir. “The nline searches fr migratry species tend t increase in spring when thse birds arrive in the United States，” said the lead authr Jhn Mittermeier.
And nt just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billin search recrds, fr 32,000 species, acrss 245 languages. They als saw variable search rates fr insects, hrsetails and flwering plants. Seasnal trends seemed t be widespread in nline searching behavir fr many species f plants and animals.
This finding suggests new ways t mnitr changes in the wrld's bilgical diversity. It als shws new ways t see hw much peple care abut nature, and which species and areas might be the mst effective targets fr cnservatin.

And s in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected fr me t see peple's interest clsely related t changes in nature.”
Richard Grenyer, Assciate Prfessr frm the University f Oxfrd, says search data is useful t cnservatin bilgists, “By using these big data appraches, we can direct ur attentin twards the difficult questins in mdern cnservatin: which species and areas are changing, and where are the peple wh care the mst and can d the mst t help.”
