Using accelerometer-based behavioral classification to enhance scavenger conservation Open
Human activities are endangering animal species globally and implementing effective conservation strategies requires understanding animal behavior and ecology. Technological advancements in GPS tracking technology, accelerometry, and machi…

Social interactions do not affect mycoplasma infection in griffon vultures Open
Uncovering the ways in which pathogens spread has important implications for population health and management. Pathogen transmission is influenced by various factors, including patterns of social interactions and shared use of space. We ai…

A wrap-around movement path randomization method to distinguish social and spatial drivers of animal interactions Open
Studying the spatial–social interface requires tools that distinguish between social and spatial drivers of interactions. Testing hypotheses about the factors determining animal interactions often involves comparing observed interactions w…

Behavioral plasticity shapes population aging patterns in a long-lived avian scavenger Open
Studying the mechanisms shaping age-related changes in behavior (“behavioral aging”) is important for understanding population dynamics in our changing world. Yet, studies that capture within-individual behavioral changes in wild populatio…

Factors affecting the individual probability of infection with a prevalent pathogen (<i>Mycoplasma</i>) and the effect on Griffon vultures’ movement behavior Open
Mycoplasmas are known as commensals and pathogenic bacteria of various raptor species causing clinical or subclinical infections. However, little is known about the prevalence of mycoplasma in captive and wild raptors and its significance …

Extreme temperatures impede the release success of captive-bred avian scavengers Open
Conservation translocations (reinforcements and reintroductions) are central for managing various endangered species, yet, their implementation is logistically and financially challenging. Because many translocations fail due to the mortal…

A lifetime track of a griffon vulture: The moving story of <span>Rehovot</span> (<span>Y64</span>) Open
24th of August 2013. The day started as any other capture day in the Negev desert, Israel, with 36 griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) waiting inside the capture trap operated by the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority (INPA). They were about to…
