Vultures
Buechley and Sekercioglu introduce vultures, the supreme avian scavengers that now face multiple threats.
متن کاملLinking ecology, behaviour and conservation: does habitat saturation change the mating system of bearded vultures?
The social organization of a population is the consequence of the decisions made by individuals to maximize their fitness, so differences in social systems may arise from differences in ecological conditions. Here, we show how a long-lived species that used to breed monogamously, and at low densities, can change its mating system in response to habitat saturation. We found that a significant pr...
متن کاملAltered behaviour of erythrocytes in scleroderma.
Filterability (deformability) of erythrocytes of patients with Raynaud's phenomenon together with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) was decreased compared with the filtration of erythrocytes from normal subjects. PSS erythrocytes showed lower electrophoretic velocity and about 23% less neuraminidase-removable sialic acid density on their surface than the normal erythrocytes. PSS erythrocytes...
متن کاملRanging behaviour of non-breeding Eurasian Griffon Vultures Gyps fulvus: a GPS-telemetry study
Little is known about the spatial ecology and ranging behaviour of vultures in Europe. In this paper we used GPS satellite telemetry to assess home-ranges of eight non-breeding Eurasian Griffon Vultures in Spain, trying to answer the main questions on when (i.e. the time of the day), how far (i.e. hourly and daily distances) and where vultures range (i.e. home-range size). Results indicated tha...
متن کاملTemperature Regulation in Turkey Vultures
Temperature regulation by six Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) was studied at ambient temperatures (T,) from 11 to 40°C in a metabolic chamber. Within this range body temperature varied little, averaging 39.7”C, and the ratio of CO, production to 0, consumption averaged 0.76. The thermal-neutral zone (TNZ) extended from 26 to 40°C. Below 26°C evaporative water loss and the heat-transfer coeffic...
