Cadmium and Lead content in Liver and Kidney tissues of Wild Turkey Vulture Cathartes aura (Linneo, 1758) from Chañaral, Atacama desert, Chile [PDF]

, 2013
Indexación: Web of Science; ScieloThe Atacama region, Chile, presents one of the highest levels of mining exploitation of the country, which leads to high levels of contamination from mine tailings and other related environmental liabilities.

Using multiple data sources to investigate foraging niche partitioning in sympatric obligate avian scavengers

Ecosphere, 2019
As carrion feeders competing for a limited and ephemeral resource, avian scavengers are ideal model organisms to study mechanisms of niche partitioning.

Efficacy of an inflatable deterrent for reducing New World vulture human-wildlife conflict [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Increasing urbanization coupled with spatial expansion and numerical increase of New World vulture populations has engendered a rise in human-vulture conflict, creating a need for effective tools to mitigate vulture-related damage.

Navigating the risks and rewards of scavenging in multipredator, human-impacted landscapes. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Large carnivores can influence smaller scavengers through both positive and negative interactions (e.g., carrion provisioning and intraguild killing) and ultimately shape scavenging efficiency. However, we know little about this trade‐off in anthropogenic landscapes where humans kill carnivores and provide carrion subsidies.

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained
