The mechanisms of color production in black skin versus red skin on the heads of New World vultures

open access: yesAvian 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 ...

Navigating Storms: Examining Vultures’ Behavior in Response to Extreme Weather Events

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Extreme weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes have been found to change the spatial and temporal abundance of raptors by decreasing survival and forcing the emigration of individuals, or by increasing habitat heterogeneity and facilitating ...

Community‐informed and codesigned research to understand the impacts of railways on wildlife

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trains cause mortalities of several animal species, but the ecological impacts of railways are understudied. Most research on wildlife–train collisions has focused on large mammals, but understanding railway‐specific risks for underrepresented taxa, especially vulnerable species, is important for developing effective mitigation strategies ...

Inventory of wildlife use of mortality pits as feeding sites: implications of pathogen exposure

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
To better understand the use of mortality pits by wildlife and possible pathogen dissemination from the resulting wildlife contact in these areas, we used 8 camera traps on 4 mortality pits in Colorado from June to December 2014 to create a species ...

Stop and Smell the Pollen: The Role of Olfaction and Vision of the Oriental Honey Buzzard in Identifying Food. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The importance of olfaction for various avian behaviors has become increasingly evident. So far, the use of olfaction for food detection among raptors has only been demonstrated for Cathartes vultures.

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...
