Education can improve the negative perception of a threatened long-lived scavenging bird, the Andean condor
(Public Library of Science, 2017-09)
Human-wildlife conflicts currently represent one of the main conservation problems for wildlife species around the world. Vultures have serious conservation concerns, many of which are related to people's adverse perception ...
Identifying conservation priority areas for the Andean condor in southern South America
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
Mobile species face an array of human threats across political boundaries, and their protection relies on identifying and prioritizing areas for conservation. Large avian scavengers are one of the widest ranging and most ...
Quercetin and related flavonoids conserve their antioxidant properties despite undergoing chemical or enzymatic oxidation
(Elsevier, 2017)
Oxidation of a phenolic group in quercetin is assumed to compromise its antioxidant properties. To
address this assumption, the ROS-scavenging, Folin-Ciocalteau- and Fe-reducing capacities of quercetin
and thirteen ...
Trophic niche overlap among scavengers in Patagonia supports the condor-vulture competition hypothesis
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-11-16)
Animals that share resources tend to use different foraging strategies in order to decrease potential competition. Scavenging birds using the same nutritional resources can segregate into different space and time scales. ...
Apex scavenger movements call for transboundary conservation policies
(Elsevier, 2014-01-25)
Current changes in the environment and increases in threats to wildlife have prompted the need for a better understanding of species´ conservation requirements. Strategies for the conservation of large-sized animal species ...
The use of biosphere reserves by a wide-ranging avian scavenger indicates its significant potential for conservation
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-09-13)
The framing of environmental conservation has been changing, mainly towards a reconciliation between human needs and nature conservation. A major challenge of biosphere reserves (BRs) is the integration of biodiversity ...
Inter-trophic food provisioning between sea and land: The jaguar (panthera onca) as provider of sea turtle carcasses to terrestrial scavengers
(International Journal of Conservation Science, 2017-07-10)
A more complete perspective of carrion use by terrestrial vertebrates and about the role of predators in net carrion supply will improve our understanding of critical ecological processes, particularly those associated ...
Puma predation subsidizes an obligate scavenger in the high Andes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06-30)
The ungulate–carnivore–vulture complex is a key trophic module of many terrestrial ecosystems, but one that is globally under threat. Few have explored cross-species dependencies in this module, and the degree to which ...
A better understanding of human behavior, not only of ‘perceptions’, will support evidence-based decision making and help to save scavenging birds: A comment to Ballejo et al. (2020)
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020-10)
In a recent study about the interactions between farmers and scavenging birds in northwest Patagonia, Argentina, Ballejo et al. (2020) found that perceptions of harm caused by the birds to livestock were not supported by ...
Large-Scale Age-Dependent Skewed Sex Ratio in a Sexually Dimorphic Avian Scavenger
(Public Library of Science, 2012-09)
Age-dependent skewed sex ratios have been observed in bird populations, with adult males generally outnumbering females. This trend is mainly driven by higher female mortality, sometimes associated with anthropogenic ...
