Birds are shrinking.... with smaller species being disproportionately impacted.

The research was conducted by a team of Yale University scientists..

Upon scrutinizing the results, researchers concluded that..

..global temperature variations were the most potent factors influencing bird size changes.

The research invoked Bergmann’s rule to explain these alterations.

According to this rule, warm-blooded animals tend to be larger in colder climates and smaller in warmer ones due to heat retention and dissipation dynamics.

However, Bergmann’s rule could not explain the entire picture, especially why smaller birds were shrinking more rapidly than their larger counterparts....
