FLOCK STASIS DRIVES FLYING SPEED IN PIGEONS, WHILE ARTIFICIAL MASS ADDITIONS DO NOT

2022-09-26

Abstract excerpt

Animals are characterised, in part, by their use of voluntary movement, which is used to explore and exploit resources from their surrounding environment. Movement can therefore benefit animals, but will cost them their energetic reserves. Thus, adaptations for faster movements with negligible increases in energy expenditure will likely evolve via natural selection. Individual and social-level mechanisms have been...
