Question 2 (Short Answer). The table below shows some disadvantages and advantages of shorter and longer wings for bird flight. Consider the kind of flight the cliff swallows who live under highway bridges might need to get food from the road. Longer wings ● ● Require less energy to use because there's less drag Harder to change directions quickly, turning is slow Take off speed is slow Shorter wings ● Require more energy to use Easier to change direction quickly • Allow birds to take off quickly Do you think birds with longer wings or shorter wings are more likely to have an advantage that allows them to survive better in this new environment? Explain your answer.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Cliff swallows are gregarious songbirds with over 2,000 nests in their vast nesting colonies. During migration, they are frequently observed flying overhead in sizable flocks, gracefully searching over fields for flying insects, or huddling close to one another on a wire preening in the sun.

Cliff swallows construct mud nests in the form of gourds with tiny entrance holes. They construct their nests close to one another, atop one another, underneath bridges or next to mountain ledges. These airborne insectivores, which live in enormous communities, communicate warnings or food availability to the other individuals via elaborate vocalisations.
