Trace element analysis of turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) feathers
Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2012Ten feather samples, including primary and secondary flight and tail feathers, were analysed for the trace element composition of vane and rachis structures using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and cold vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy (CVAAS).

Biological effects of aqueous extract from Turkey vulture Cathartes aura (Cathartidae) meat
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2013Cathartes aura is a bird used in the Mexican traditional medicine for the empirical treatment of cancer, injuries, infections and burns.The in vitro immunomodulatory effects of Cathartes aura extract (CAE) were evaluated estimating its effects on proliferation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and murine splenocytes. The effects of CAE (1-200

Testing problem solving in turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) using the string-pulling test
Animal Cognition, 2014To examine problem solving in turkey vultures (Cathartes aura), six captive vultures were presented with a string-pulling task, which involved drawing a string up to access food. This test has been used to assess cognition in many bird species. A small piece of meat suspended by a string was attached to a perch.

Olfactory Sensitivity of the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) to Three Carrion-associated Odorants
The Auk, 1986Abstract The Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) is generally thought to rely on olfactory cues to locate carrion. Because vertically rising odorants are dispersed rapidly by wind turbulence, we predict that Turkey Vultures should be highly sensitive to these chemicals to detect them at foraging altitudes. Olfactory thresholds

Cathartidae is a small family of large-bodied carrion-feeding birds, of which the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura, Cathartidae) is the most widespread distributed. To investigate the chemoreception system, detoxification system, and immune system in the turkey vulture, we compared its genome to 14 other avian genomes.
