Many species travel in highly organized groups. The most quoted function of these configurations is to reduce energy expenditure and enhance locomotor performance of individuals in the assemblage. The distinctive V formation of bird flocks has long i... Read More about Upwash exploitation and downwash avoidance by flap phasing in ibis formation flight.
