The phrase "alter migration patterns" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing changes in the movement or behavior of populations, whether human or animal, often in the context of environmental or social factors.
Example: "Climate change can significantly alter migration patterns of various bird species, affecting their breeding and feeding habits."
Alternatives: "change migration trends" or "modify migration routes."
Worldwide, researchers have increasingly been focusing on how a changing climate has altered or is likely to alter migration patterns and the habitats that different species may find hospitable.
Seismic surveying is globally controversial technique as the blasts have the potential to kill animals at close range, disable animals or alter migration patterns.
Seismic surveying is a globally controversial technique, as the blasts have the potential to kill or disable animals at close range and alter migration patterns.
But the fighting in Somalia, tighter borders and land disputes have altered migration patterns.
It is tempting to speculate that attenuation of binding potential to PDZ domain-containing proteins enables cells to alter their migration patterns [ 49, 50].
Mackerel quotas have been a source of conflict for several years with Iceland and the Faroes demanding a greater share, arguing that they were entitled to more because climate change had altered the migration patterns so that more of the fish reached their waters.
We therefore hypothesized that stromal influence on epithelial cells could critically alter the migration pattern of tumor epithelial cells.
The intervening regions may underlie the difficulty in maintaining LRR solubility in vitro and alter the migration pattern during electrophoresis in non-denaturing gels.
While the C-terminal APP fragments can be resolved on SDS PAGE, analysis is complicated since in neurons, a proportion of APP is phosphorylated on threonine-668 (APP-thr668) by c-Jun N-terminal kinase-3 which alters the migration pattern of the different processed species so that some co-migrate (17, 18).
Thus, 10 nM R1881 affects migration speed without altering migration type.
Mutation of the four putative GSK3 phosphorylation sites profoundly altered the migration pattern of c-MAF, MAFB and MAFA.
