Multiple anthropogenic threats have caused vulture populations to decline globally, with
serious ecological and socio-economic implications. The Cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres) …

Land use change alters wildlife critical animal behaviours such as movement, becoming the
main driver threatening wildlife ecological functions (WEF) and nature's contribution to …

External factors such as geography and weather strongly affect bird migration influencing
daily travel schedules and flight speeds. For strictly thermal-soaring migrants, weather …

Enantiornithines were the dominant birds of the Mesozoic, but understanding of their diet is
still tenuous. We introduce new data on the enantiornithine family Bohaiornithidae, famous …

As carrion feeders competing for a limited and ephemeral resource, avian scavengers are
ideal model organisms to study mechanisms of niche partitioning. Previous work has …

Solar-powered GPS transmitters linked to the GSM cellular transmission system are a
powerful new tool for avian research. Data collection can be researcher programmed or use …

Analyzing the trajectories of movements among moving objects is of interest in many fields
to understand the dynamics and behavior of those objects. In this paper, a cluster-centric …

Both wing size and wing shape affect the flight abilities of birds. Intra and inter‐specific
studies have revealed a pattern where high aspect ratio and low wing loading favour …

Long‐distance migration is a demanding physical activity, and how well animals manage
the associated costs will have important implications for their fitness. The Oceania …

Optical remote sensing is an important tool in the study of animal behavior providing
ecologists with the means to understand species–environment interactions in combination …
