Toady you mentioned that the Books deal with migration paterns, do herdanimals/birds and such actually migrate ingame?
No, that's just a generated research topic.
The specific volume compared the airspeeds of various types of swallows when migrating with coconuts.
African or European?

With all these poets and philosophers in the world will there be fewer soldiers, hunters, beast tamers and other violent historic figures? Are worlds going to be a more peaceful and cultured places?

With more additions to the game, the more burden falls on the already very strained FPS of Dwarf Fortress. Will there be Improvements on the game-performance in the next realease(s), that could make mega-projects or larger fortresses in general more pleasant to play with?

Will the scholars be able to study necromancer books? And even gain their power?

Content releases such as the coming one rarely feature performance upgrades. The bugfix releases afterwards could, however.

Hypothetically speaking... if fortress wealth is high but population low, and our parent civilization happens to be dying/dead; would outsiders sense the opening and flock to the fortress, inadvertently compensating for the lack of migrants?

Ah, yes, I thought something was amiss. Now I see. There's not enough terrible things in the lakes.

With the scenarios/law/property update, might we possibly see the return of the economy?

Not until the economy improves....

But maybe, the economy needs to be less broken before it can come back.  That'll probably be its own thing, though.

Will there be different burrow options for visitors/citizens/non-dwarves? What about alerts? How much control will we have over our visitors? Can I keep my visitors from running out into a goblin siege?

Will the dabbling-to-legendary scaling of professions ever change? Specially now that the master-apprentice mechanic is a thing in world gen.

Also it kinda bothers me that experienced weaponsmiths and milkers can both be considered legends when one makes masterworks and the other is just a really fast tit-squeezer.

You've never seen a legendary milker in action. There's a real reason people tell legends about their tit-squeezing.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.
