“Using a four-decade specimen series of 70 716 individuals of 52 North American migratory bird species, we demonstrate that increasing annual summer temperature over the 40-year period predicts consistent reductions in body size across these diverse taxa.”
A more recent study, looking at 52 species of migratory birds passing through Chicago, again found both reduced body weight and increased wingspan. https://t.co/Ejl9ZmcSH1
Making assumptions on birds flying into buildings accidentally and making a correlation with global warming? Note the original article talks not of climate change. Decrease in body size & increase in wing span. Interesting 🧐🧐 https://t.co/KYFFoIstyM

Scientists have discovered that over the last 40 years, birds have decreased in size. An Evolution attributed to #Globalwarming Data on more than 70,000 birds representing 52 species of #migratorybirds from North America have been collected. #birdsize

But you ain’t off with the whole “grow wings” deal - just not for humans. There are studies that show birds are evolving to be smaller but their wings are growing larger, attributed to a warmer climate. Study if interested: https://t.co/4warc0wmUf

@JohnSpeakman4 Yeah, that's a good question. I am not sure if it is addressed in this way. It just seems so obvious, especially considering your body of work. But birds are already experiencing reductions in body sizes in response to temperature increases.

They found that all of them saw a decrease in overall body size, with statistically significant declines in 49 species. The length of the tarsus, or lower leg bone, for example, shrank by 2.4 percent across the board. Link to original paper - https://t.co/
