A.s history?C.B.Why some species bee smaller.s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.t immune(免除)from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken And polar bears are smaller, pared with historical records. The change is big in coldblooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行動(dòng)物)smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陳代謝). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing. We do not yet know the mechanisms(機(jī)制)involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected, the researchers said. Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences
