Evidence of global warming resulting in evolution of animals.
Cape ground squirrels
Tail
Becoming fluffier, uses for shading itself.
Feet
Grown, help to better distribute heat.
Spine
Has shortened over time.
New mannerisms
Sprawling flat on the ground to cool off and distribute heat.
80 different species of birds.
Wing size.
Has remained the same size, technically larger in comparison to body size. For better heat distribution. Assist in longer migration.
Beak size.
Has become larger, to distribute body heat better and to maintain adequate hydration.
Body size
Has become smaller
Fish.
Size
Some species move to an area with a more preferable climate. Others will be smaller, not grow as large as previous generations.
Distribution of species.
Heat affects the sublimity of oxygen in water. An increase in heat will result in fish migrating to cooler areas where oxygen in more plentiful.
Distribution of nutrients.
Disrupted migration and distribution of fish can affect how nutrients are moved across the biomass. Fish no longer occupying certain areas can disrupt movement of nutrients to mammals, birds, and plants on land.
Insects
Smaller adults.
A result of warmer temperatures speeding up development of juveniles.
Results in less pollination success, fewer plants able to be pollinated.
Less reproductive success.
