Large avian scavengers are among the most vulnerable vertebrates, and many of their
populations have declined severely in recent decades. To help mitigate this marked …

Telemetry-based movement research has become central for learning about the behavior,
ecology and conservation of wide-ranging species. Particularly, early telemetry studies were …

Technological innovations have led to exciting fast-moving developments in science. Today,
we are living in a technology-driven era of biological discovery. Consequently, tracking …

Many populations of long‐distance migrants are declining and there is increasing evidence
that declines may be caused by factors operating outside the breeding season. Among the …

Satellite-tracking technology has allowed scientists to make a quantum leap in the field of
migration ecology. Nowadays, the basic description of migratory routes of many species of …

Large body-sized avian scavengers, including the Egyptian vulture (Neophron
percnopterus), are globally threatened due to human-related mortality so guidelines …

Vultures comprise the most endangered avian foraging guild (obligate scavengers) and their
loss from ecosystems can trigger trophic cascades, mesopredator release, and human …

Carrion production is one of the most crucial yet neglected and understudied processes in
food webs and ecosystems. In this study, we performed a large-scale estimation of the …

Aim Animal movement is an important determinant of individual survival, population
dynamics and ecosystem structure and function. Nonetheless, it is still unclear how local …

Animal species, including humans, display patterns of individual variability in cognition that
are difficult to explain. For instance, some individuals perform well in certain cognitive tasks …
