For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More

air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help lessen the

effects of a warmer world. Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their

behaviour. In a paper published inTrends in Ecology & Evolution, a team led by Sara

Ryding, a professor in Australia, shows that is already happening. In some species of

Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10% since

1871. Similar trends are seen in species of mice and bats growing bigger ears, tails, legs

and wings.

All that fits nicely with evolutionary theory. “Allen’s rule”, named after Joe Allen,

who suggested it in 1877, holds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have

larger appendages than those in mild areas. Such adaptations boost an animal’s surface

area relative to its body volume, helping it to shed extra heat. Fennec foxes, meanwhile,

which are native to the Sahara desert, have strikingly large ears, especially compared

with their Arctic cousins.

Ryding’s team combined data from different species in different places. Now that

they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet, climate change is the

most reasonable explanation. Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs, it

is unclear how far the process might go. Bigger beaks might interfere with feeding, for

instance. Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cost more energy to grow.

Honestly, studying a broader range of animals will help firm up exactly what is

happening. For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%. That may

change as warming accelerates. But it seems clear that the world of the future is not just

going to be hotter than humans are used to. The animals living in it will look different,

too.
