Which risk increases when small puncture compromises avian air sac integrity during soaring flight?

💡 Explanation

When air sac integrity is compromised, asymmetric pressure distribution results because air leaks through breach, altering lift balance on each wing, leading to roll. Therefore asymmetric lift is the greatest risk, rather than cooling, oxygen reduction, or drag increase, which are secondary effects or driven by separate variables.
