Data Analysis Project: Analyzing Global Patterns in Animal Migration and Population Dynamics in Response to Climate Change

This data analysis focuses on examining the trends and patterns that currently exist within animal migration and population dynamics in response to the change in global climate. Climate change is known as one of the most concerning issues that have come along with the rapid development of infrastructure, technology, and advancements. This research paper was conducted using the Ecological Niche Model theoretical framework. Due to the large amounts of resources available online, one of the well-documented taxonomic groups and most sensitive to climate change was selected: Anatidae. After a thorough analysis, it was found that the trend of migratory patterns, breeding patterns, and population dynamics, with the increase in global temperature, have been through a significant shift in Anatidae.
