The Impact of Climate Change on Avian Migration Patterns

Project Abstract

Climate change is a pressing global issue that has far-reaching impacts on various ecosystems and wildlife species, including avian populations. This research project aims to investigate the specific effects of climate change on avian migration patterns, focusing on how these changes impact the timing, routes, and destinations of migratory bird species. The study will explore the underlying mechanisms driving these shifts in migration behavior and evaluate the potential consequences for avian populations and ecosystems.
