A comparison of flight energetics and kinematics of migratory Brambling and residential Eurasian Tree Sparrow
Abstract Background Unlike resident birds, migratory birds are generally believed to have evolved to enhance flight efficiency; however, direct evidence is still scarce due to the difficulty of measuring the flight speed and mechanical power. Methods We studied the differences in morphology, flight...
