Now recent studies have shown further results that many of our species of plants and animals are also shrinking because of warmer temperatures and lack of water. This is probably the scariest thing to happen in Mishy's Small and Shrinking World!
Spiders, beetles, ants, cicadas and my favorite insect of all, bees have all shrunk because of climate change. Shoots and fruit are between 3-17% smaller and fish have shrunk up to 22% for each degree of warming! But there is hope and evidence is seen in all life forms. One simple word, adaptability. Darwin calls it, Natural selection. Whatever changes occur in climate change or its effects, life forms will adapt.
