Which risk increases among cliff-nesting seabirds, like kittiwakes, during periods of high wind and increased wing plumage loading?

💡 Explanation

Higher loading when winds increase stress requires higher mechanical strength; traumatic barbs fracture occurs from stress. Consequently, feather structure failure is dominant, because muscle fatigue (C) requires extended period or lack of nutrients, rather than immediate excessive force burden .
