Conversion efficiency of flight power is low, but increases with flight speed in the migratory bat Pipistrellus nathusii

The efficiency with which flying animals convert metabolic power to mechanical power dictates an individual's flight behaviour and energy requirements. Despite the significance of this parameter, we lack empirical data on conversion efficiency for most species as in vivo measurements are notori...
