Migration and tidally locked dark side of planets as refugium from Red Dwarf flaring
Imagine you are a migratory ocean-going organism on a tidally locked planet around a red dwarf that flares
Your star is trying to kill you
assuming the flare does not destroy your atmosphere over time a tidally locked planets dark side could be a watery refugium. The Refugium would repopulate sunlit ocean with microorganisms and larger swimming Metazoans could migrate in and out of the dark and lit ocean areas
(your star has already killed you)
