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.

The status quo is imperiled: Acknowledging the issue of range‐shifting wildlife species
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Rapid climate and land‐use change are reshaping wildlife distributions, forcing managers to confront difficult decisions that challenge the traditional “status quo” approach. Range contractions of snow‐dependent species such as the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus; left photo) may increasingly require practitioners to recognize and plan for unavoidable ...

Measuring the edges of species' geographic ranges
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract The fundamental unit of spatial ecology is a species range: the geographical area that it occupies. Species ranges are delineated by range edges (also known as boundaries or limits). Why range edges occur where they do and not elsewhere, and what makes them move, has been an active area of research since the 19th century.

Known occurrences and modelled distribution and sympatry between Vultur gryphus and Coragyps atratus
, 2018 Climate change can cause geographic displacement of the ecological niche of a species, so that similar species that previously did not coexist could begin to face new interactions such as competition.

Regional Intravenous Anaesthesia (Bier's block) in Black-headed Vulture (Coragyps atratus) Submitted to Digit Amputation [PDF]
, 2022 Background: The Coragyps atratus flies long distances in search of food and has a marked behaviour of food competition. Since they are frequently found in areas of recent human occupation, they are subject to trauma, which may require surgical ...

Tongue and Glottis Morphology of Cathartes aura and the Secret of Its Functional Adaptation
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cathartes aura, commonly known as the Turkey vulture, is a scavenger bird belonging to the family Cathartidae that is widely distributed throughout the Americas and classified as a New World vulture. Its diet primarily consists of small‐sized carcasses, predominantly of wild animals.
