Which wing configuration change enables albatrosses to transition to dynamic soaring in variable winds?

💡 Explanation

When wind gradients change, albatrosses use tendon control to induce adjustable wing twist, optimizing the angle of attack for efficient energy extraction during dynamic soaring. Therefore adjustable wing twist enables transition, rather than elbow flexion, alula reduction, or barbule locking which support other flight modes.
