Maintenance of syntenic groups between Cathartidae and Gallus gallus indicates symplesiomorphic karyotypes in new world vultures

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011
Similarities between New World and Old World vultures have been interpreted to reflect a close relationship and to suggest the inclusion of both in Accipitridae (Falconiformes).

Nestling carcasses from colonially breeding wading birds: patterns of access and energetic relevance for a vertebrate scavenger community

Scientific Reports, 2019
Energy transfer is fundamental to ecosystem processes, affecting productivity and community structure. Large aggregations of colonially breeding birds are known as nutrient sources through deposition of feces, but also may deposit large quantities of ...

Effects of wind farms on raptors: A systematic review of the current knowledge and the potential solutions to mitigate negative impacts

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 334-352, June 2025.
Our review of 195 studies highlights the consensus on raptors’ avoidance behavior and population decline post‐wind farm installation, emphasizing the significant risks posed by mountaintop wind farms to soaring raptors. Adult raptor mortality, particularly among endangered species, and the elevated collision risks faced by young individuals underscore ...

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
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
