Exploring the Impact of Climate Change on the Behavior and Distribution of Bird Species in a Local Ecosystem

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The ongoing changes in global climate have been identified as a significant factor influencing the behavior and distribution of bird species within various ecosystems. This thesis explores the impact of climate change on bird species in a local ecosystem, focusing on how these environmental shifts affect the behavior and distribution patterns of birds. The study aims to provide insights into the potential consequences of climate change on avian populations and to contribute to the understanding of the ecological implications of these changes.
