Allometry reveals trade-offs between Bergmann's and Allen's rules, and different avian adaptive strategies for thermoregulation

Arkadiusz Frohlich et al.

Summary: Animals in warm climates tend to decrease in body size and elongate appendages. This study shows that the relative length of unfeathered appendages varies with temperature depending on body size. Body size, beak length, and tarsus length interact to predict the species' environmental temperature. These findings suggest that body size and shape are products of thermoregulatory adaptations.

Effects of climate on bill morphology within and across Toxostoma thrashers

Charlotte M. Probst et al.

Summary: The study reveals that there is no significant relationship between bill morphology and climate variables across bird species like Toxostoma thrashers, suggesting other factors like foraging behavior may play a more important role in shaping bill morphology. While some species within Toxostoma thrashers follow Allen's rule, the relationship between climate and bill morphology varies in strength and direction across different species. Additionally, in extremely hot climates, there may be a reversal of Allen's rule where bird bills may function as heat sinks rather than heat radiators.

Global plant-frugivore trait matching is shaped by climate and biogeographic history

Ian R. McFadden et al.

Summary: This study evaluates trait relationships between frugivorous birds and palms at a global scale and identifies factors such as assemblage richness, climate, and biogeographic history that influence these relationships. The results show that trophic interactions have consistent influences on trait structure, but abiotic, biogeographic, and richness effects also play important roles in shaping the functional biogeography of mutualisms.

Flight hampers the evolution of weapons in birds

Joao C. T. Menezes et al.

Summary: Birds are a remarkable example of how sexual selection can produce diverse ornaments and behaviors. Unlike other animals, birds have a scarcity of weapons, and this study suggests that the costly mode of locomotion-powered flight in birds may help explain this. The simulation and analysis showed that species with flight-efficient wings tend to have fewer or no bony spurs, and this association likely arises from more frequent evolutionary loss of spurs due to increased flying. This suggests that the absence of weaponry may be another feature of the avian body plan that allows birds to efficiently explore the aerial habitat.

Thermal adaptation best explains Bergmann's and Allen's Rules across ecologically diverse shorebirds

Alexandra McQueen et al.

Summary: The size and shape of shorebirds show patterns along latitudes, which can be best explained by their adaptation to warm climates. This pattern is consistent across diverse species and environments, with birds in tropical regions having longer bills and smaller bodies.

Morphological variations in a widely distributed Eastern Asian passerine cannot be consistently explained by ecogeographic rules

Chun-Cheng Lee et al.

Summary: The study investigated the morphometric variation of a widely distributed East Asian passerine and found that its morphological variation does not conform to Bergmann's rule and Allen's rule, suggesting that morphological variations are likely governed by multiple selection forces rather than dominated by thermoregulation. Therefore, ecogeographic rules should be validated prior to forecasting biological responses to climate change, especially for species in less-studied regions.

Adaptations to light contribute to the ecological niches and evolution of the terrestrial avifauna

Ian J. Ausprey

Summary: This study explores the ecological and phylogenetic drivers of eye morphology in terrestrial bird species using measurements from preserved specimens, finding that species with larger eyes are specialized in darker habitats and tropical latitudes. Eye size is a top predictor for habitat, foraging behaviour, diet, and latitude in comparison to other traits.

Shape-shifting: changing animal morphologies as a response to climatic warming

Sara Ryding et al.

Summary: Animal appendages like avian beaks and mammalian ears can dissipate excess body heat, with animals in warmer climates typically having larger appendages for more efficient heat exchange. In response to climate change and warming, endotherms may undergo 'shape-shifting' in appendage size. Temperature is found to be a strong predictor of morphological change in endotherms, either independently or in combination with other environmental factors.
