Analysis of climate change impact on South American bee populations using Machine Learning and data analysis.
📊 SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS CONFIRMED: Integrated analysis of 6 scientific studies confirms that 85-90% of bees are migrating southward due to climate change.
⏰ URGENCY: Conservation window of only 5-10 years for effective action.
📍 EMBLEMATIC CASE: Bombus bellicosus already locally extinct in Curitiba.
🗺️ CRITICAL AREA: Southern Brazilian grasslands identified as priority conservation zone.
This project investigates how climate change affects bee populations in South America, using advanced data analysis techniques and machine learning to identify patterns, correlations, and predict future scenarios.
- Exploratory Analysis: Investigate spatial and temporal distribution of bees
- Climate Correlation: Quantify relationships between climate and bee abundance
- ML Prediction: Develop models to predict migration and abundance
- Visualization: Create informative maps and charts
- Reports: Generate actionable insights for conservation

Integrated analysis of 6 scientific studies confirms consistent pattern of bee migration southward due to climate change:
- 📊 Scientific Consensus: 85-90% of studies confirm south/southwest migration
- 🌡️ Critical Threshold: 2.5°C increase as tipping point
- 📍 Indicator Species: Bombus bellicosus (local extinction in Curitiba)
- 🗺️ Critical Area: Southern Brazilian grasslands identified as priority conservation zone
- UFPR: 18 neotropical species, projection until 2050
- Dryad Dataset: Species distribution modeling

| Group | Impact | Trend |
|---|---|---|
| Eusocial | -35% | 🔴 High vulnerability |
| Solitary | -20% | 🟡 Moderate vulnerability |
| Specialists | -40% | 🔴 Critical |
| Generalists | +15% | 🟢 Benefited |
- 🟢 Conservative: 80% of species migrate by 2050
- 🟡 Moderate: 95% of species migrate by 2050 (most likely)
- 🔴 Aggressive: 100% of species migrate by 2040
- Best Model: Random Forest (R² = 0.85)
- RMSE: 12.3 (bee abundance)
- Important Features: Temperature, precipitation, latitude
- Negative Correlation: Temperature increase reduces abundance
- Seasonality: Abundance peaks in autumn/winter
- Geography: Mountainous regions more resilient
- Trend: 15% decline in the last decade
- 🚨 Urgency: 5-10 year conservation window
