Climate change has likely caused migratory birds’ bodies to get smaller and their wings to get longer over the years, and the timing of their migrations has shifted substantially. Researchers determined this by tapping into a one-of-a-kind dataset from the Field Museum in Chicago. Read the full story from the Wildlife Society.
