Population Viability and Conservation Strategies for the Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus) in Southeast Europe [PDF]
The Eurasian Black Vulture is a globally threatened raptor that in Southeast Europe only occurs in an isolated population in Greece. We examined the population viability for the species under demographic fluctuations and conservation scenarios.

Fast food: GPS tracking reveals behavior-specific habitat selection and cattle farm subsidies of three sympatric neotropical vulture species [PDF]
Understanding species responses to anthropogenic disturbance is fundamental to ecology and conservation. However, behaviour and inter-individual variation in habitat selection can complicate our understanding of population-level responses to human ...

Taphonomic signatures of early scavenging by black and turkey vultures. [PDF]
Scavenging is critical for nutrient cycling and maintenance of healthy ecosystems. While there is substantial research into the identification of taphonomic signatures from facultative mammalian scavengers, early stage scavenging signatures by vultures ...
