Marine animals have consistently shrunk during intense global warming periods. This ancient pattern is now observed in today's warming oceans. Warmer waters hold less oxygen, impacting animal metabolism and growth. Surviving species became smaller after major extinction events historically. This fossil record offers a clear warning for future marine life.

Marine animals do not just struggle when ocean temperatures spike, they actually shrink, and a massive new study shows this pattern has been repeating for nearly 450 million…
