Albatross have very long and narrow wings, a shape that works very well for long-distance flight with low energy inputs. Indeed, they can glide for days at a time with minimal flapping. However, this wing shape works poorly for agile and controlled landing, and albatross often “crash land” at their nest sites. This observation is most consistent with what general pattern in morphology?

A. How the morphological trait works depends on size because physical mechanisms scale from macro to micro to nano scales

B. Traits are often subjected to tradeoffs across functions

C. The function of morphological traits depends on properties at the chemical, micro, macro and behavioral level

D. The function of morphological traits depends on interactions across different traits in the organism
