, 2018 Cathartes aura (Linnaeus, 1758) Records. Table 3. Turkey vulture individuals were identified by size, shape, and color pattern (Fig. 12). The body feathers were mostly brownish-black, but the flight feathers on the wings were silvery-gray underneath, contrasting with the darker wing linings. The head was small in proportion to the body and red in color

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

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Infection in Bearded Vultures in Spain. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT We report mortality in bearded vultures ( Gypaetus barbatus ) associated with highly pathogenic avian influenza HPAI A H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, responsible for the current HPAI panzootic. Between April and May 2022, a total of five bearded vultures from Spain, four free‐ranging and one captive individual, were found dead in their nest or with ...

The mechanisms of color production in black skin versus red skin on the heads of New World vultures
Avian Research, 2023 A determination of how the color of animal integument is produced is a starting point for investigations into the function and evolution of coloration. The mechanisms that give rise to the color of bare skin of New World vultures are largely unexplored ...
