The Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Sarcoramphus papa</i> (Cathartidae), the King Vulture. [PDF]
Biodivers Genomes, 2023 Sarcoramphus papa is a New World Vulture found predominantly in tropical lowland forests stretching from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. We present the whole genome sequence of this species. Illumina paired-end reads were assembled by a de novo method followed by a finishing step.

First record of death-feigning in Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) (Cathartidae) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 2019 AbstractDeath-feigning is a behavior ability with the purpose of allowing prey to evade from predators. Despite death-feigning is recorded on a wide variety of bird species, it has been recorded only once in vultures, more specifically on a Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) nest.

Maintenance of syntenic groups between Cathartidae and Gallus gallus indicates symplesiomorphic karyotypes in new world vultures [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 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). However, deeper analyses indicated that the placement of the New World vultures (cathartids) in this Order is uncertain.

Notes on vultures (Cathartidae) in Paraguay with a supporting bibliography
Vulture News, 2021 Paraguay is often overlooked by ornithological researchers as much of its literature is obscure, hard to find or published locally. This is equally true of Cathartid vultures. In an effort to bring this information to a wider audience, we provide a summary of the published Paraguayan literature for each of the four species of vultures that occur in the

A Derived Morphology of the Quadrate May Support a Previously Unrecognized Major Higher-Level Clade of Neoavian Birds. [PDF]
J MorpholThe avian quadrate plays a critical role in cranial kinesis, but few comparative studies exist of its morphological variation across higher‐level taxa. In this study, the occurrence of a markedly concave articular facet of the condylus medialis is surveyed across neornithine birds.
