In zoology
An evasion is the leaving of an area by parts of a population of animals, e.g. B. lemmings or waxwings . These leave their original area of distribution due to increased density stress or lack of food when the cold snaps. If they then appear in areas where they do not occur regularly, it is an invasion.
