Differential movement of adult and juvenile Cinereous Vultures (Aegypius monachus) (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae) in Northeast Asia

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020
We report on differential movement of adult and juvenile cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) in the northeast Asia. Adult vultures remain in Mongolia throughout the year, whereas many juvenile vultures migrate from their breeding grounds in Mongolia ...

An improved African vultures optimization algorithm based on tent chaotic mapping and time-varying mechanism

PLoS ONE, 2021
Metaheuristic optimization algorithms are one of the most effective methods for solving complex engineering problems. However, the performance of a metaheuristic algorithm is related to its exploration ability and exploitation ability.

Griffon vultures, livestock and farmers: Unraveling a complex socio-economic ecological conflict from a conservation perspective

Biological Conservation, 2022
An unexpected human-wildlife conflict between vultures and livestock has emerged in Europe during the last two decades. Farmers attributed changes in vulture behavior, due to food shortages caused by sanitary regulations, to increasing livestock ...

Presumed killers? Vultures, stakeholders, misperceptions, and fake news

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Vultures and condors are among the most threatened avian species in the world due to the impacts of human activities. Negative perceptions can contribute to these threats as some vulture species have been historically blamed for killing livestock.

A comparison of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in wild and captive Himalayan vultures [PDF]

PeerJ
As the most widely distributed scavenger birds on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Himalayan vultures (Gyps himalayensis) feed on the carcasses of various wild and domestic animals, facing the dual selection pressure of pathogens and antibiotics and are ...

Local perceptions and sociocultural value of Hooded Vultures Necrosyrtes monachus in Burkina Faso, West Africa

Ostrich, 2022
Hooded Vultures have suffered from dramatic population declines in recent decades owing to anthropogenic pressures. To properly address this threat, the sociocultural perspectives towards this species should be considered.
