Data from: Body shrinkage due to Arctic warming reduces red knot fitness in tropical wintering range
Reductions in body size are increasingly being identified as a response to climate warming. Here we present evidence for a case of such body shrinkage, potentially due to malnutrition in early life. We show that an avian long-distance migrant (red knot, Calidris canutus canutus), which is experienci...
