The Cell Press recently discovered factors that give some species of animals the ability to essentially “shapeshift” in order to survive the existing formats of climate change so as to adapt. The team notes that some “warm-blooded” animals shapeshifted by getting larger beaks, legs, and ears in order to better accustom their body temperature when the surrounding temperature gets hotter. The team carried out the current study in order to solve the hypothesis that answers the question whether animals have the ability to survive the impending climate change. The team notes climate change to be a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has been occurring at a progressive manner which makes the shapeshifting factors extremely difficult to pinpoint. However, similar changes are occurring in various geographical sectors across a wider range of species where the common remainder is often said to be climate change.
The team notes that on average, several species of the Australian parrot have shown a 4% to 10% increase in beak size since 1871 which is positively running tandem with the corresponding summer temperature each running year. Some mammalian species have also reported different sizes in appendages; however, they are quite small as the team notes. On average, less than 10% of the smaller changes have been noted; but, these changes are visibly noticeable and are often prone to increase as time passes by. The team studies the changes in animal sizes by 3D scanning bird species from the past 100 year in order to paint a clear picture as to why the birds are changing their appendages sizes and concluded that the following changes are occurring due to climate change. The team further notes that shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that the following changes are fine for the moment.
