Is there an animal that migrates towards the winter or a colder climate?

Posted: 26 Apr 2022 08:29 PM PDT

I am writing a literary project that involves the theme of migration, and I was wondering if there are any animals that migrate towards colder regions instead of a warmer one. I know this goes against the intuitive description and reasoning behind animal migrations but I thought I might ask around since I could not find many resources online. Perhaps the arctic terns which migrate towards the Antarctic summer, which is colder than the Arctic one, but they are avoiding winter. Thank you in advance!

African Americans are more likely to die, contract, and have more severe cases of prostate cancer. Why is this the case?

How are neutron beams guided?

Charged particle beams (protons, electrons) are guided with an electric and/or magnetic field, but neutrons are uncharged.

Which zone is the hottest part of a candle's flame?

Posted: 25 Apr 2022 05:58 PM PDT

I've always been told that the blue or the lower section of a candle flame is the hottest part of the flame. But, I found this image on Wikipedia showing that the hottest part of the candle flame is actually the top section. Almost every other (not very reputable) source that I find says that the hottest part of the candle flame is the blue part. These sources are mainly for school experiments.

So, which zone is the hottest in a candle flame?

Why are antibiotics given to a laboring woman, but not to the newborn?

Posted: 25 Apr 2022 06:29 PM PDT

To reduce the risk of an infection in newborns, mothers who test positive for Group B Strep bacteria are treated with antibiotics during labor. But the recommendations I have seen say that if the mother did not receive these antibiotics, the risk of baby developing an infection is low anyway, and no treatment is needed until symptoms are seen. Is it because it's not as effective after delivery, or more likely to cause harm, or has something changed about the risk profile?

The Costa Rican “summer” is around January because it’s warmer and dryer there then, even though it’s on the northern hemisphere. Is it technically summer, or is calling that season just a colloquialism?

Is calling January "summer" in Costa Rica a scientific term, or is it something they just say because it's warmer there?
