Zoologia, 2013 Increasing populations of the Black Vulture, Coragyps atratus (Bechstein, 1793) and the capacity this bird has to live near humans has resulted in vulture-human conflicts.

Syrinx anatomy and vocalizations in New World vultures (Aves: Cathartidae): Implications for avian vocal evolution. [PDF]
J AnatNew World vultures are the only avian clade proposed to lack a syrinx and have been described as non‐vocal. Using dissection, diceCT, and histology, we demonstrate that cathartid vultures have novel syringeal features that form a syrinx and vocal characterization reveals that they produce more complex vocalizations than previously reported.

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Research and Animal Science, 2009 O estudo anatômico da origem e distribuição do plexo braquial no urubu (Coragyps atratus foetens) foi efetuado em 14 animais, adultos,machos e fêmeas oriundos da região de Araçatuba (SP). Após a fixação em solução aquosa de formaldeído a 10,00%, realizou-se a dissecação bilateral da origem dos plexos braquiais e sua distribuição.

Heavy metal levels in plasma and fecal material samples of the black vulture (Coragyps atratus)
Revista Científica, 2010 The level of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), vanadium (V), and zinc (Zn) were determined in blood plasma samples of healthy black vultures (Coragyps atratus) (n = 10).

Survival of a Long-Lived Avian Scavenger: Implications of Age, Season, and Landscape Composition for Mortality Risk. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe goal of this study was to evaluate survival and mortality risk in black vultures (Coragyps atratus), a protected native species of conflict management concern in the United States. High survival rates from this study help explain this species' population growth and range expansion and further inform allowable take for sustainable management ...

Beach Buffet: First Observations of White-Backed Vultures <i>Gyps africanus</i> Feeding on a Cape Fur Seal <i>Arctocephalus pusillus</i> on the Skeleton Coast. [PDF]
Ecol EvolVultures are specialized scavengers that provide critical ecosystem services by clearing carcasses, though their activity in African coastal environments has previously been limited to only two documented species (i.e., the Lappet‐faced and the Hooded Vultures).

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

Geofagia y plasticofagia en Coragyps atratus
Ecosistemas, 2023 Geofagia es el consumo intencional o incidental de suelo por parte de animales. Se considera un comportamiento poco común, y sus explicaciones son controvertidas y motivo contínuo de debate. La plasticofagia es el consumo deliberado o accidental de plásticos, un fenómeno cada vez más frecuente en aves alrededor del mundo. Aquí documentamos los primeros
