Under the radar: The availability of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs in South America and implications for avian scavenger populations

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
The use of diclofenac and other nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been identified as a cause of vulture decline in Asia and Europe. Investigation into the availability of two NSAIDs (diclofenac and flunixin) in South America found that both are approved for veterinary use and are accessible in all countries searched, across many ...

GENETIC CONSERVATION IN VULTUR GRYPHUS (LINNEAUS, 1758) (FALCONIFORMES: CATHARTIDAE)

, 2021
Vultur gryphus (Linneaus, 1758) is distributed throughout the entire length of the Andes mountain ranges, however, habitat destruction, overpopulation, agriculture and among other factors have fragmented its habitat, causing this to affect its population and placing it in the low red book the Endangered category (EN); the fragmentation of its habitat ...

Visual fields, foraging and collision vulnerability in gulls (Laridae)

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 2, Page 386-396, April 2025.
Wide variation in visual field configuration has been recorded among avian species and it is hypothesized that this variation is driven primarily by foraging ecology and predator detection. It has also been shown that visual field configurations can render some species more vulnerable to collisions with human artefacts that extend into open airspace ...

Medium-sized exotic prey create novel food webs: the case of predators and scavengers consuming lagomorphs [PDF]

, 2016
Food web interactions are key to community structure. The introduction of species can be seen as an uncontrolled experiment of the addition of species. Introduced species lead to multiple changes, frequently threatening the native biodiversity. However,

Choosing the best small‐mammal survey method to maximize efficiency and accurately inform wildlife hazard management at airports

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 1, March 2025.
Surveys of small mammal populations at airports inform species relative abundance estimates, information used by airport biologists to direct management to reduce strike risk. From our review, we identified snap‐traps and tracking tunnels as the two most‐promising small‐mammal survey methods for most airports, considering the breadth of applications ...

Taphonomic impact of vertebrate scavengers on degradation and dispersal of remains, southeastern British Columbia

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 1985-1995, November 2024.
Abstract Vertebrate scavengers represent important taphonomic agents that can act on a body, particularly when in an outdoor environment. Understanding the effects of these agents will direct how and where to search for human remains and influence the likelihood of discovery in a particular region.

Predicting wildlife reservoirs and global vulnerability to zoonotic Flaviviruses. [PDF]

, 2018
Flaviviruses continue to cause globally relevant epidemics and have emerged or re-emerged in regions that were previously unaffected. Factors determining emergence of flaviviruses and continuing circulation in sylvatic cycles are incompletely understood.

Scavenging and social interaction of an apex avian scavenger is governed by bioregional and seasonal variation

Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 10, October 2024.
Apex scavengers can perform an important ecosystem service by rapidly removing carrion, in turn regulating nutrient cycling linked to carcass decomposition. Yet, our understanding of the biotic and abiotic factors that influence rates of apex scavenging and their behaviour around carrion remains limited, in part because of the absence of replicated ...
