Empirical Evidence for Energy Efficiency Using Intermittent Gliding Flight in Northern Bald Ibises
Birds face exceptionally high energy demands during their flight. One visible feature of some species is alternating between flapping and gliding, which should allow them to save energy. To date, there is no empirical evidence of an energetic benefit to this. To understand the physiology behind the...
