8、rtain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter.

When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the wi

11、 to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight. 11 According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _. （ A） stopped migrating （ B） continued migrating （ C） stayed in the north （ D） migrated
