Shorebirds Are Shrinking and Shape‐Shifting: Declining Body Size and Lengthening Bills in the Past Half‐Century
Animals are predicted to shrink and shape‐shift as the climate warms, declining in size,
while their appendages lengthen. Determining which types of species are undergoing these …

No evidence that shrinking and shapeshifting meaningfully affect how birds respond to warming and cooling
Across the globe, birds and mammals are becoming smaller and longer-limbed. Although
the cause of these changes is unclear, many argue that each provide thermoregulatory …
