Post‑fledging movement and spatial ecology of the endangered Cape Vulture (\u3ci\u3eGyps coprotheres\u3c/i\u3e) [PDF]

, 2018
The post-fledging dependence period (PFDP) is one of the most critical stages in the life history of some avian species. Birds are particularly sensitive to mortality during this stage as they must learn essential skills, such as efficient locomotion ...
