Abstract

The behavior of fauna is intricately linked to environmental conditions. Changes in climate, habitat destruction, pollution, and human activities have led to significant alterations in the behavioral patterns of various species. This paper explores the impact of environmental changes on fauna behavior, including migration shifts, altered feeding habits, changes in reproductive patterns, and adaptations to urbanization. Understanding these behavioral modifications is crucial for conservation efforts and ecological balance.
