Urban Green Spaces Set the Stage for Rare Interspecific Allopreening Between Crested Caracara (Caracara plancus) and Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUrban green spaces and wildlife corridors provide unique opportunities to observe how animals adapt and interact in human‐dominated landscapes. In San Antonio, Texas, both adjacent to and within the Phil Hardberger Park and the Robert L.B.

Spatial responses of black vultures to resource pulses during white‐tailed deer hunting seasons
Wildlife Society BulletinPulsed resources can dramatically influence spatial ecology of wildlife. Black vulture (Coragyps atratus) movements depend on habitat structure and foraging opportunities, but their responses to pulsed resources are poorly understood.

Taphonomic signatures of early scavenging by black and turkey vultures. [PDF]
PLoS ONEScavenging is critical for nutrient cycling and maintenance of healthy ecosystems. While there is substantial research into the identification of taphonomic signatures from facultative mammalian scavengers, early stage scavenging signatures by vultures ...

Mitochondrial Genome Analysis of Philippine Eagles (<i>Pithecophaga jefferyi</i> Ogilvie-Grant 1896) From the Greater Mindanao Faunal Region. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMitogenome sequencing is a promising alternative for the genetic studies of animals. In this work, we examined the genetic diversity of the critically endangered and endemic Philippine eagles and their evolutionary relationship to other birds of prey.

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.
