"For wildlife, climate change is a bit like the “final boss” the protagonist
faces in a video game: big, hulking and inescapable.
This formidable enemy has forced wildlife to alter where and how they live.
Higher temperatures exert so much stress on wildlife that over generations,
they are forced to change and adapt.
We wanted to better understand how this pattern of change was playing out in
Australian birds.
Our two pieces of recent research identified that, in response to warming, more
than 100 species of Australian birds have developed smaller bodies and bigger
beaks over time."
