Are long‐term widespread avian body size changes related to food availability? A test using contemporaneous changes in carotenoid‐based color
Recent changes in global climate have been linked with changes in animal body size. While declines in body size are commonly explained as an adaptive thermoregulatory response to climate warming, many species do not decline in size, and alternative explanations for size change exist. One possibility...
