Which effect primarily causes reduced avian efficiency during high-altitude migration?

💡 Explanation

Lower air density at high altitudes reduces the wing area's effective lift through Bernoulli's principle, stressing the mechanism. Lift is decreased because of reduced air molecules, therefore increasing flapping rate is required, rather than lowered metabolic rate at lower temperatures.
