‘Global warming causing shrinking ecosystem’-17 October 2011,Hindustan Times

From the mighty polar bear to the tiny house sparrow, many of Earth’s species appear to be shrinking in size, a new study reports and its authors think that’s probably due to global warming. But other experts say that conclusion goes too far, blaming global warming for what may be natural
changes.

The new research was published online Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. It’s based on a review of other studies and found that 38 of 85 animal and plant species showed a documented reduction in size over decades, including a type of Scottish sheep that is 5 % smaller than in 1985. Those studies looked at species over different time periods and in varying numbers.
