Comparing Aerodynamic Efficiency in Birds and Bats Suggests Better Flight Performance in Birds
Flight is one of the energetically most costly activities in the animal kingdom, suggesting that natural selection should work to optimize flight performance. The similar size and flight speed of birds and bats may therefore suggest convergent aerodynamic performance; alternatively, flight performan...
