DESCRIPTION:Arctic peregrine falcons undertake remarkable long-distance mig
 rations each year\, crossing thousands of kilometers to reach their winter
 ing grounds. Yet\, how these migration routes form\, maintain\, and evolve
  under climate change remains unclear. Here we present an integrative stud
 y combining satellite tracking and population genomics across six Arctic p
 opulations. We discovered five major flyways\, shaped by past glacial shif
 ts and maintained today by environmental boundaries and genetic adaptation
 . A key gene\, ADCY8\, associated with long-term memory\, appears to influ
 ence migratory distance\, suggesting that long-term memory may play a vita
 l role in these epic journeys. Functional assays support its regulatory ro
 le in the bird brain. We also used climate models to predict future change
 s and found that global warming may shorten migration routes or even aboli
 sh migration in some populations. These findings highlight the intricate l
 inks between climate\, memory\, and migration\, and underscore the conserv
 ation challenges Arctic species facing in a rapidly changing world.\nSpeak
