The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) analysed data from over ten years to investigate the effects of forest logging and climate change on bird populations in tropical mountains.
According to a new study, the harsh lights of big cities may be generating an evolutionary adaption for smaller eyes in some birds.
The findings, published in Global Change Biology, have ramifications for conservation efforts as bird populations across the United States continue to drop.
Researchers found that rising global temperatures make it more difficult for birds to determine when it is spring and time to breed. The study was published in the journal, 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.'
