Which risk increases when reduced air sac pressure causes asynchronous breathing during thermal soaring?

💡 Explanation

When reduced air sac pressure compromises synchronous breathing during thermal soaring, inefficient oxygen uptake leads to increased anaerobic metabolism because oxygen demand exceeds supply. Therefore metabolic stress increases, rather than reduced lift, increased parasite load, or disrupted navigation which involve different physiological and environmental mechanisms.
