Comparison of the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli, verotoxin-producing E. coli and enteropathogenic E. coli in griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus), cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) and red kites (Milvus milvus) fed in the wild and in a rescue centre [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionAntimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli from avian scavengers remains poorly characterized, with limited data available for griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) and no studies on cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) or red kites (Milvus ...

Ecology of African Vultures in Southern Tanzania

, 2022
Vulture populations are one of the fastest declining bird groups and have suffered sharp population declines across their range, including in east Africa. Currently, three of the eleven African vulture species are listed as endangered and four are listed

Ecological separation of small cathartid vultures in South America [PDF]

, 1988
During three field seasons, totalling 20 months between 1984-87, the ecological separation of four species of small Cathartid vultures was investigated at Hato Masaguaral in the flat savannas or Llanos of central Venezuela, South America.

A multi-strategy enhanced African vultures optimization algorithm for global optimization problems

Journal of Computational Design and Engineering, 2023
The African vultures optimization algorithm (AVOA) is a recently proposed metaheuristic inspired by the African vultures’ behaviors. Though the basic AVOA performs very well for most optimization problems, it still suffers from the shortcomings of slow

African vultures don't follow migratory herds: scavenger habitat use is not mediated by prey abundance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The ongoing global decline in vulture populations raises major conservation concerns, but little is known about the factors that mediate scavenger habitat use, in particular the importance of abundance of live prey versus prey mortality.

Quantum-inspired African vultures optimization algorithm with elite mutation strategy for production scheduling problems

Journal of Computational Design and Engineering, 2023
The Production Scheduling (PS) problem is a challenging task that involves assigning manufacturing resources to jobs while ensuring that all constraints are satisfied. The key difficulty in PS is determining the appropriate order of operations. In this

From Pyrenees to Andes: The relationship between transhumant livestock and vultures

Biological Conservation, 2023
movement of herds between winter and summer pastures. Transhumance have important effects on the ecosystem functions from local to regional scales. Here, we 1) explored the relationship of vultures to transhumant herds, and 2) tested whether there is a ...

A utilization distribution for the global population of Cape Vultures (Gyps coprotheres) to guide wind energy development.

Ecological Applications, 2023
The rapid development of wind energy in southern Africa represents an additional threat to the already fragile populations of African vultures. The distribution of the Vulnerable Cape Vulture Gyps coprotheres overlaps considerably with wind energy ...
