Urbanization influences spatiotemporal patterns of roost site selection by black vultures and turkey vultures Open
Roost locations can be an important contributor to vulture conflicts with humans, but factors influencing roost-site selection at a landscape level remain largely unexplored. Further, there has been little research comparing how these fact…

Integrating data types to estimate spatial patterns of avian migration across the Western Hemisphere Open
For many avian species, spatial migration patterns remain largely undescribed, especially across hemispheric extents. Recent advancements in tracking technologies and high‐resolution species distribution models (i.e., eBird Status and Tren…

Evidence of niche differentiation for two sympatric vulture species in the Southeastern United States Open
Background As obligate scavengers utilizing similar habitats, interspecific competition undoubtedly occurs between resident black ( Coragyps atratus ) and turkey ( Cathartes aura) vultures. In the interest of exploring how sympatric specie…

Using multiple data sources to investigate foraging niche partitioning in sympatric obligate avian scavengers Open
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 focused on observations of species’ interactions at carcasses, and a…

Parasitaemia data and molecular characterization of Haemoproteus catharti from New World vultures (Cathartidae) reveals a novel clade of Haemosporida Open
Background: New World vultures (Cathartiformes: Cathartidae) are obligate scavengers comprised of seven species in five genera throughout the Americas. Of these, turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) and black vultures (Coragyps atratus) are th…

Efficacy of an acoustic hailing device as an avian dispersal tool Open
Bird strikes are a major safety and financial concern for modern aviation. Audible stimuli are common bird dispersal techniques, but their effectiveness is limited by the saliency and relevance of the stimulus. Furthermore, high ambient so…

Fine-scale assessment of home ranges and activity patterns for resident black vultures (Coragyps atratus) and turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) Open
Knowledge of black vulture (Coragyps atratus) and turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) spatial ecology is surprisingly limited despite their vital ecological roles. Fine-scale assessments of space use patterns and resource selection are particu…

Environmental conditions and animal behavior influence performance of solar-powered GPS-GSM transmitters Open
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 dynamic fix (DF) rates that are automatically adjusted in accorda…
