Environmental drivers of variability in the movement ecology of turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) in North and South America. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2014 Variation is key to the adaptability of species and their ability to survive changes to the Earth's climate and habitats. Plasticity in movement strategies allows a species to better track spatial dynamics of habitat quality. We describe the mechanisms that shape the movement of a long-distance migrant bird (turkey vulture,Cathartes aura) across two ...

EXPERIMENTAL LEAD POISONING IN TURKEY VULTURES (CATHARTES AURA) [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2003 Lead-induced mortality appears to have been a major factor in the decline of the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus). We orally dosed turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) with BB-sized lead shot from January 1988 through July 1988 to determine physiologic response (delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase inhibition, erythrocyte protoporphyrin levels,
