Systematics within Gyps vultures: a clade at risk [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background Populations of the Oriental White-backed Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) have declined by over 95% within the past decade. This decline is largely due to incidental consumption of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory veterinary pharmaceutical ...

Sovereign debt restructuring : the judge, the vultures and creditor rights [PDF]

, 2006
What role did the US courts play in the Argentine debt swap of 2005? What implications does this have for the future of creditor rights in sovereign bond markets? The judge in the Argentine case has, it appears, deftly exploited creditor heterogeneity –

Participation of Renewable Energy Sources in the Frequency Regulation Issues of a Five-Area Hybrid Power System Utilizing a Sine Cosine-Adopted African Vulture Optimization Algorithm

Energies, 2023
In this article, a novel methodology is proposed by utilizing a technique which, in light of the change in the African vulture optimization known as Sine Cosine, adopted an African vulture optimization algorithm (SCaAVOA)-based tilt integral derivative ...

Large‐scale movement patterns in a social vulture are influenced by seasonality, sex, and breeding region

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Quantifying space use and segregation, as well as the extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting them, is crucial to increase our knowledge of species‐specific movement ecology and to design effective management and conservation measures.

Vulture culture: dietary specialization of an obligate scavenger

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2023
Individual dietary variation has important ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, it has been overlooked in many taxa that are thought to have homogeneous diets. This is the case of vultures, considered merely as ‘carrion eaters’. Given their

Assessing African Vultures as Biomonitors and Umbrella Species

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
African vulture populations are rapidly declining, yet funding and other resources available for their conservation are limited. Improving our understanding of which African vulture species could best serve as an umbrella species for the entire suite of ...
