TEACUP animals are clearly the
way of the future.
Researchers from the National
University of Singapore have
posited that animals and plants
are shrinking as a direct result of
climate change.
They trawled through past
studies and fossil records and
found that species including
spiders, bees and ants have over
the years shrunk in relation to the
warming climate.
According to the researchers,
for every degree of warming,
marine invertebrates shrink 0.5 to
4%, whilst fish downsize between
6 and 22%.
The researchers hypothesised
that the reason for the shrinkage
may be that smaller creatures
survive better in the heat, and
that animals may be evolving to
compensate for current changes.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 19 Oct 11 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 19 Oct 11
