Abstract

I collected, cleaned, and organized data on animal species in Ecuador, a megadiverse country (harbors a vast proportion of Earth’s species and is home to high numbers of endemic species). These data were crucial for a larger project which modeled the impacts of climate change on species conservation over time. I designed the algorithms that cleaned and organized these large data sets.
