Normally we are thinking that evolution is quite a slow process, but the thing is that Scitechdaily.com is an article about the thing, that we might not want to see. There is introduced that climate change is seen in the bodies of birds. Climate chancing has multiple effects on the bodies of birds, but also climate change can affect the behavior of the birds and other animals.
The higher temperature will benefit the smaller bodies and longer wings, which are making it easier to keep the body temperature of the bird lower. This kind of thing is fascinating but at the same time alarming. Evolution means the genetic or cultural evolution, and in the world of animals, the term "cultural" might be replaced by using the word "behavioral" because animals are not intelligent organisms, what can plan the things, what they are doing.
But the animals are behaving somehow, that thing means that we can think that the behavior is the culture of the organisms, what is not so-called intelligent. The change of behavior might mean in the case of reptilians like snakes, that they might start to bite also bigger animals and drink blood because that thing would allow them to get more food.
Also, animals can move closer to water because that helps them to keep their body temperature lower. And that causes problems and conflicts with animals and humans. The thing is that the smaller bodies and longer wings are allowing the birds to fly a long time and higher, and that thing helps them to avoid the dangerous temperature. Because birds are spending less time on the ground, animals like snakes, which are eating birds must find other food sources.
And those kinds of cases are dangerous. The fact is that the longer wings and smaller bodies are purely genetic things. The genetic breeding of the species is happening that the members of species are making descendants with individuals, which have longer wings.
But the hotter summer might mean that the birds are starting to make eggs earlier in spring, and later in autumn, where the temperature is not damaging their eggs. And that means that the behavioral evolution of species has the same way big effect on the environment as genetic evolution. A changing environment requires the ability to adapt to the demands and challenges, what the changing environment gives to species, what is living in there.
