This repository contains the code I utilized in order to write a section of a report to a conservation organization regarding an analysis of invasive species on Madagascar. I begin with an analysis of invasive species on Madagascar, before focusing in on Chytrid. Chytrid was introduced to Madagascar very recently; evidence points to an introduction in the period from 2010-2014. It threatens the numerous amphibians endemic to Madagascar (>240 unique species of frog). ###Analysis Process
- Invasive species data scraped from the GISD using urllib3 for fetching, and BeautifulSoup for parsing.
- Madagascar amphibian data aquired from the AmphibiaWeb API
- Data was cleaned and ordanized using pandas.
- Data was plotted using matplotlib and Seaborn.
###Initial Analysis of Types of Invsasive Species
Data was extracted from the GISD Madagascar search results:
###Comparison with List of Top 100 Invasive Species
#####Resulting list of Top 100 Invasives present in Madagascar
###Analysis of invasive species origins
Data was extracted from individual species pages:
#Amphibian Risk Analysis
