Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained
