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).

Evidence of niche differentiation for two sympatric vulture species in the Southeastern United States

Movement Ecology, 2019
Background As obligate scavengers utilizing similar habitats, interspecific competition undoubtedly occurs between resident black (Coragyps atratus) and turkey (Cathartes aura) vultures.

NESTING OF THE GREATER YELLOW-HEADED VULTURE (CATHARTES MELAMBROTUS) IN EASTERN PERU [PDF]

, 2022
The Greater Yellow-headed Vulture (Cathartes melambrotus) is one of the less known cathartids (Cathartiformes, Cathartidae), especially in its reproductive biology, being the only species in the family that does not have nest description. Here I describe

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 ...

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 ...

Preliminary effects of UAS angle of approach on escape responses of a large-bodied raptor

Drone Systems and Applications
Animal responses to unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) can be exploited to reduce human-wildlife conflicts. We investigated how same-level UAS approaches (0°) would be perceived by Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura; “vultures”) compared to stoop approaches (

Isotopic ordering in eggshells reflects body temperatures and suggests differing thermophysiology in two Cretaceous dinosaurs [PDF]

, 2015
Our understanding of the evolutionary transitions leading to the modern endothermic state of birds and mammals is incomplete, partly because tools available to study the thermophysiology of extinct vertebrates are limited.

FOGS: A SNPSTR Marker Database to Combat Wildlife Trafficking and a Cell Culture Bank for Ex‐Situ Conservation

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.
