The FLIGHT project investigates the energy costs of bird flight, focusing on how airflows influence their behavior and energy expenditure. By integrating laboratory and field methods, it aims to provide insights into the relationship between bird flight patterns and environmental conditions.
Flight is thought to be one of the most energetically costly of bird activities.
These costs matter by virtue of their magnitude, as factors affecting flight costs can have a disproportionate impact on the overall energy balance.
Flight costs are fundamentally linked to airflows, as well as behavioural responses to them, because birds react to horizontal and vertical currents by changing flight mode (i.e. flapping/ gliding), speed and route.
Even minor route adjustments can radically affect the…
