Adaptive cross-country optimization strategies in thermal soaring birds

Summary: Thermal soaring enables birds to perform cost-efficient flights. Although aerodynamic rules dictate the costs of flight, soaring species vary strongly in their morphologies and behavioral strategies. To quantify morphology-related differences in behavioral cross-country strategies, we analy...
