Dynamic evolution of olfactory receptor genes in the Turkey Vulture and Black Vulture

Avian Research
Olfactory receptors (ORs), the largest vertebrate multigene family, exhibit wide copy number variation among taxa, ranging from ∼100 to 4000. The ecological importance of smell has been suggested to positively correlate with OR gene number, though debate

Use of Natural Springs by Raptors: Insights from Camera Traps in the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico

Diversity
Freshwater availability is one of the most pressing environmental concerns in arid ecosystems. The use of free-standing water by raptors has been little studied, and in the context of climate change has become increasingly important as extended droughts ...

Flapping rates of migrating and foraging Turkey Vultures Cathartes aura in Costa Rica

Vulture News, 2006
Local and migrating populations of Turkey Vultures Cathartes aura co-exist in Costa Rica in autumn and spring (Stiles & Skutch 1989). We studied the flapping rates of individuals from these two populations to compare flight modes and the amount of energy invested in active flight. Migrants tended to fly higher in more stable air than local birds, which
