How much does habitat isolation drive forest bird morphology?

2021-02-03

Abstract excerpt

Rapid environmental change caused by humans has become a major concern for wildlife conservationists. But phenotypic and evolutionary responses of species to such change may often be swift enough to prevent their collapse. Several North American bird species living in boreal forests now have more pointed wings (a proxy for sustained ight efficiency), than they had a century ago. This remarkable pattern has been hy...
