...years, the average Soay Island wild sheep has decreased in size, according to a report in the July 2 issue of Science by a team of researchers led by Tim Coulson of Imperial College London. Thanks largely to global warming, the winters on Soay Island are becoming shorter and milder. That makes food more abundant and allows some of the smaller, more vulnerable and younger sheep to survive. Then they go on to have offspring that tend to be small themselves - and have a better chance of survival because of the increasingly mild winters. "The environmental and evolutionary processes...
...factor. Sheep, unlike many other mammals, tend to have offspring quite early in life - mothers can have lambs at one-year-old, before they're fully grown. Since the size of the lambs is limited by the size of the mothers, younger mothers have smaller babies. Thanks to the milder winters, more sheep are able to survive that difficult first year and have lambs, which means there are more small lambs being born, bringing down the flock's average size - and causing the shrinking of the Soay sheep. "Those lambs had been born with a slight disadvantage, but that...
