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).”
50 years of bat tracking: device attachment and future directions (2014, background): “Unlike experiments with increasing bodymass (Davis &Cockrum 1964; Aldridge & Brigham 1988), it is unknown how increasing drag through the shape, mass and profile of an externally attached transmitter device impacts flight energetics in bats (Norberg 1990).”
The biophysics of bird flight: functional relationships integrate aerodynamics, morphology, kinematics, muscles and sensors (2015, background): “The wing downstroke is responsible for almost all weight support and thrust generation in the birds that have been studied to date (Tobalske 2007; Norberg 2011; Lentink et al. 2015; for a discussion see Crandell and Tobalske 2015), with the primary exception being hummingbirds (Warrick et al.”
Morphological Adaptations to Migration in Birds (2016, background): “Ez utóbbi eredmény a repüléshez szükséges energiaigényből eredhet, amely a magasabb szárnyhegyességindex esetén alacsonyabb (Norberg 2012).”
