@EZLorenzImagery Beautiful #footage of an #Anna's #hummingbird #Calypte #anna #mother feeding her #young. It is well visible that she uses her position at the edge of her nest also to #warm her #offspring. Due to their relation between body mass and body surface, there is not much #warmth #energy persisting, when these birds don't move. Thus C. Anna needs to move a lot to produce warmth. And it can move very fast: Relative to their #bodysize, it is considered one of the fastest vertebrates.

Human impact on the #evolution of domestic and wild #animal #bodySize
has intensified in the last millennium -
#Overfishing has caused #cod to halve in #bodysize since 1990s, study finds
#Scientists have uncovered #genomic evidence that intensive #fishing has driven rapid #evolution changes that have contributed to these fish roughly halving in average body length since the 1990s. The "shrinking" of cod, from median mature body length of 40cm in 1996 to 20cm in 2019, has a genetic basis and human activities have left a profound mark on the population's #DNA, the study concluded.

Recently on ErosBlog, Boy Joey explained his so-called bottom diet. ErosBlog doesn't have much time for weight loss or body size talk, but this is ... different:

Rallings et al. explore the relationship between body size and sources of mortality among mammals. Their theoretical framework shows how size influences sensitivity to starvation, aging, and more, offering insights into the existence of megafauna. Read now ahead of print!
