Climate shifts sparked rare bursts of bird evolution
New research suggests that major climate shifts triggered rare, rapid bursts of evolution in bird species, driving the diversity seen today.

The study is drawing attention as an example of how climate change can reshape life on Earth over deep time.
Why now: Interest in how past climate change reshaped biodiversity resonates with current concerns about global warming's effects on wildlife.
