• Morphological Adaptations to Migration in Birds (2016, background): “The amount of work done to maintain level flight is a function of the magnitude of the net lift (i.e. lift-to-drag ratio), and the size and shape of the wing is decisive in this respect (Norberg 1990; Pennycuick 2008).”
• Actuator disk model and span efficiency of flapping flight in bats based on time-resolved PIV measurements (2011, background): “An example of a highly flexible flapping wing configuration is that of the bat, which has flexible membranous wings (Pennycuick 1971, 1973, 2008a; Swartz et al. 1996).”
• Sexually distinct foraging strategies in an omnivorous seabird (2015, background): “Morphology, especially mass, wing load, and aspect ratio, has important consequences for flight performance and flight energetics with cruising flight speeds and energy expenditure scaling with mass and wing load (Norberg 1990; Alerstam et al. 2007; Pennycuick 2008).”
• A phylogenetically controlled meta‐analysis of biologging device effects on birds: Deleterious effects and a call for more standardized reporting of study data (2017, background): “While the latter incorporated fewer studies, the lower energetic costs of soaring (between 2.5 and 9.5 times lower, Pennycuick, 2008) may reduce the impact of tagging, and flightless species, i.e. penguins, likely benefit from the intensive work conducted on ensuring the streamlining of device…”
• Meta‐analysis of transmitter effects on avian behaviour and ecology (2010, background): “Programs such as Flight 1.11 (Pennycuick 2002) permit theoretical examination of the impact a device will have given certain parameters (Pennycuick 1989, 2008).”
• Regional and seasonal flight speeds of soaring migrants and the role of weather conditions at hourly and daily scales (2015, background): “The way weather affects migration depends on the flight mode of a bird, which is largely determined by its body size and morphology (Alerstam 1990, Hedenström 1993, Pennycuick 2003, 2008, Shamoun-Baranes et al. 2010).”
• How do albatrosses fly around the world without flapping their wings (2011, methodology): “…using the aerodynamical equations of motion (Lissaman, 2005, 2007; Torenbeek and Wittenberg, 2009) and the maximum glide ratio V/Vz = 21.2, and associated cruise airspeed, Vc = 16.0 m/s, of a wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) in straight flight (Pennycuick, 2008) (Tables 1 and 2, Appendix A).”
