Show PostIn the wild, flight has no fixed cost. In the right atmospheric conditions, large soaring birds like the Andean condor fly as cheaply as a fish of the same mass swims. In adverse conditions, flapping flight can be almost as costly as running.

Show PostFlappers and soarers emerged as two groups from a phylogenetic model based on flapping proportions, with no a priori classification.
Show PostWhat sets the price? The air, together with the animal’s morphology and its ability to extract energy from it. Linking atmospheric energy to transport costs will help predict how changing windscapes reshape the energetics and movements of flying animals.
