Distribution Modeling of Foraging Habitats for Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) in Kermanshah Province, Iran
The Egyptian vulture, Neophron percnopterus, as a globally endangered species, is significantly affected by conflicts with human, leading to the decline of this species population. Availability of food resources is known as one of the most important factors affecting the distribution of the Egyptian vulture. In this study, we employed an ensemble modelling approach to predict the suitability o...
متن کاملLevels of polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides in serum samples of Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) from Spain.
Concentrations of 23 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), p,p'-DDT and two of its metabolites, p,p'-DDE and p,p'-TDE have been measured in serum samples of up to 1 ml of Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) gathered from five populations in Spain. SigmaPCB concentrations were found to be in the range 3.2-97 ng/ml, while those of SigmaDDTs ranged from 0.93 to 38 ng/ml. p,p'-DDT/p,p'-DDE ratios ...
متن کاملWho Are We Feeding? Asymmetric Individual Use of Surplus Food Resources in an Insular Population of the Endangered Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus
Supplementary feeding stations, or "vulture restaurants", are common conservation management tools. While a number of studies have investigated the consequences of surplus food on the population dynamics of scavengers, relatively little is known about the effects of such practices at the individual level. Within the long-term monitored breeding population of Canarian Egyptian vultures (Neophron...
متن کاملVulture population decline, Diclofenac and avian gout
Populations of the Gyps vultures of southern Asian countries have been declining precipitously during the recent past, especially in the western parts of its distributional range. A linkage between the common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ‘Diclofenac’ and the mortality of these vultures was established recently from Pakistan. However, any conclusive evidence on Diclofenac-poisoni...
متن کاملAdapting Egyptian Vulture Optimization Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem
Vehicle Routing problem (VRP) is the challenging and sophisticated optimization problem which can be solved by various approaches like Exact methods, metaheuristic optimization algorithm and Mathematical approaches including linear and integer programming Techniques. Exact algorithms can only solve relatively small problems of VRP. Several approximate algorithms have proven successfully to find...
