Which mechanism causes reduced lift when high humidity increases feather barbule spacing?

💡 Explanation

As humidity increases feather barbules spacing, porousity increases so a disrupted airflow boundary layer results with local turbulence because cohesion needed for effective lift generation reduces, degrading aerodynamic efficiency. Therefore, airflow boundary disruption reduces lift, rather than alternatives related to turbulence, camber, or drag, that depend on different air viscosity mechanisms.
