متن کاملTemperature Regulation in Turkey Vultures
Temperature regulation by six Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) was studied at ambient temperatures (T,) from 11 to 40°C in a metabolic chamber. Within this range body temperature varied little, averaging 39.7”C, and the ratio of CO, production to 0, consumption averaged 0.76. The thermal-neutral zone (TNZ) extended from 26 to 40°C. Below 26°C evaporative water loss and the heat-transfer coeffic...
متن کاملThe microbiome of New World vultures.
Vultures are scavengers that fill a key ecosystem niche, in which they have evolved a remarkable tolerance to bacterial toxins in decaying meat. Here we report the first deep metagenomic analysis of the vulture microbiome. Through face and gut comparisons of 50 vultures representing two species, we demonstrate a remarkably conserved low diversity of gut microbial flora. The gut samples containe...
متن کاملSovereign Debt Restructuring: the Judge, the Vultures and Creditor Rights

The judge in the Argentine case has, it appears, deftly exploited creditor heterogeneity – between holdouts seeking capital gains and institutional investors wanting a settlement – to promote a swap with a supermajority of creditors. ...
متن کاملDemographics of Black Vultures in North Carolina
Understanding the contributions of vital rates to species population growth is critical to developing new management protocols. We constructed a model population for black vultures (Coragyps atratus) in North Carolina, USA, based on demographic data from a 14-year study. The model population was similar in stage structure to the reference population, and adult survival was the primary contribut...
