Experimental lead poisoning in turkey vultures (Cathartes aura).
Lead-induced mortality appears to have been a major factor in the decline of the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus). We orally dosed turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) with BB-sized lead shot from January 1988 through July 1988 to determine physiologic response (delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase inhibition, erythrocyte protoporphyrin levels, anemia), diagnostic tissue lead concentrat...
متن کاملPresumptive Secondary Ethylene Glycol (Antifreeze) Toxicity in a Turkey Vulture (A Case Report)
A presumptive diagnosis of secondary ethylene glycol toxicity in a female Turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) was made depending on the histopathological changes found in the renal tubules and presence of Isospora spp. of non-avian type within the colon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of possible secondary ethylene glycol toxicity in a Turkey vulture in Louisiana Stat...
متن کاملEnvironmental drivers of variability in the movement ecology of turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) in North and South America.
Variation is key to the adaptability of species and their ability to survive changes to the Earth's climate and habitats. Plasticity in movement strategies allows a species to better track spatial dynamics of habitat quality. We describe the mechanisms that shape the movement of a long-distance migrant bird (turkey vulture, Cathartes aura) across two continents using satellite tracking coupled ...
متن کاملHead color and caruncles of sympatric Cathartes vultures (Aves: Cathartidae) in Guyana and their possible function in intra- and interspecific signaling
—The naked heads of Cathartes vultures are widely believed to be adaptations for temperature regulation and to reduce plumage fouling during carrion feeding. Bright head color and the elaborate pattern of caruncles on the head and neck skin have a likely function in intraand interspecific signaling. These integumentary characters have been difficult to study because of extensive postmortem colo...
متن کاملFine-scale assessment of home ranges and activity patterns for resident black vultures (Coragyps atratus) and turkey vultures (Cathartes aura)
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 particularly lacking, although development of tracking technologies has allowed data collection at finer temporal and spatial resolution. Objectives of this study we...
