Inter‐specific interactions linking predation and scavenging in terrestrial vertebrate assemblages
Predation and scavenging have been classically understood as independent processes,
with predator–prey interactions and scavenger–carrion relationships occurring separately …

Large‐scale movement patterns in a social vulture are influenced by seasonality, sex, and breeding region
Quantifying space use and segregation, as well as the extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting
them, is crucial to increase our knowledge of species‐specific movement ecology and to …

Habitat, human pressure, and social behavior: Partialling out factors affecting large-scale territory extinction in an endangered vulture
Extinctions are often the result of multiple factors that are difficult to disentangle and so
methods for identifying simple and combined types of extinctions are valuable for both basic …
