Not everyone is shrinking: increases in body mass and wing length in a Sand Martin (Riparia riparia) population in northwestern Italy over two decades

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
In recent decades, vertebrates, particularly birds, have exhibited notable morphological changes in response to climate change. In birds, these temporal trends usually entail a decrease in body mass and an increase in wing length, sometimes interpreted as a compensatory strategy to maintain migration.
