Changes to birds’ size, habits and morphology have been linked to rising temperatures
Global warming is changing European birds as we know them, a study has found, but it’s not just the increase in temperature that’s to blame.
Researchers have found that garden warblers, for example, are having a quarter fewer chicks, which has huge implications for the species. Chiffchaffs are laying their eggs 12 days earlier. Members of the passerine family are getting smaller, while redstarts are getting larger.
