Morphological evolution of bird wings follows a mechanical sensitivity gradient determined by the aerodynamics of flapping flight

The physical principles that govern the function of biological structures also mediate their evolution, but the evolutionary drivers of morphological traits within complex structures can be difficult to predict. Here, we use morphological traits measured from 1096 3-dimensional bird wing scans from...
