Which environmental consequence results to soaring avian species when thermal updraft formation diminishes?

💡 Explanation

Reduced thermal updrafts necessitate more flapping because energy conservation through thermalling is lost; thermalling relies on *convection*, therefore metabolic energy increases, rather than changes to feather condition or blood components tied to oxygen processing.
