Abstract Vultures and condors are among the most threatened avian species in world due to impacts of human activities. Negative perceptions can contribute these threats as some vulture have been historically blamed for killing livestock. This perception conflict has increased recent years, associated with a viral spread partial biased information through social media despite limited empirical support assertions. Here, we highlight that magnifying infrequent events livestock being injured by...

Summary Animals that share resources tend to use different foraging strategies in order decrease potential competition. Scavenging birds using the same nutritional can segregate into space and time scales. However, it has been suggested when species do not co-evolve achieve such segregation competition may result. Our aim was study trophic niche overlap between three of obligate scavengers, Andean Condor Vultur gryphus , Turkey Vulture Cathartes aura American Black Coragyps atratus which are...

Abstract Content published on social media may affect user’s attitudes toward wildlife species. We evaluated viewers’ responses to videos a popular medium, focusing particularly how the content was framed (i.e., way an issue is conveyed transmit certain meaning). analyzed posted YouTube that showed vultures interacting with livestock. The were negatively or positively framed, and we opinions of these birds through comments posted. also mammalian predators livestock, evaluate whether this...

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in integrating the social sciences and conservation studies to inform more realistic management approach. Indeed, an understanding of people's perception fauna helps evaluation possible conflicts with humans, provides tools solve these conflicts. However, perceptions may change along different parts species' geographical distribution. Scavenger birds are not exempt from as many farmers blame them for attacking killing livestock. We...

El estudio de la dieta aves carroñeras es relevante porque estas especies cumplen un importante rol en eliminación cadáveres, reduciendo el desarrollo y exposición patógenos sobre los tejidos cadavéricos. objetivo este trabajo estudiar del Jote Cabeza Negra (Coragyps atratus) a lo largo año evaluar relación entre restos que consume hábitat utilizado noroeste patagónico. Se colectaron 488 egagrópilas dos dormideros comunales, uno ubicado ambiente urbano (Dina Huapi) otro rural (Estancia...

Existen diversos estudios actualísticos en tafonomía sobre restos de presas diferentes especies aves raptoras. Sin embargo, este tipo trabajos carroñeras ha sido escasamente considerado hasta el momento Argentina, a pesar que ellas cumplen un papel fundamental la alteración y transporte cadáveres. Coragyps atratus (jote cabeza negra) tiene particularidad formar posaderos comunales cercanos áreas actividades humanas alimentarse animales todos los tamaños, por lo pueden interferir formación...

We studied small mammal assemblages recovered from owl pellets collected at 11 locations throughout the Argentina’s Pampean Region. identified 21 species, including two marsupials, one bat, and 18 rodents. From analysis of this dataset, we could distinguish three main groups mammals that currently inhabit Region: 1) a group taxa related to agroecosystems (Calomys spp., Akodon azarae, Oligoryzomys flavescens); 2) Brazilian species (Cavia aperea, Oxymycterus rufus, Necromys lasiurus, obscurus,...

Here we present the first fossil record of a bone assemblage that could have been accumulated by New World vultures (Cathartidae). The remains were found in an archaeological rockshelter called Gruta do Presépio (GPR), located tropical rainforest environment Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil, where groups hunters and gatherers lived from Early to Middle Holocene (9.3–4.6 cal. ka BP) until Late (1.3 BP). results taphonomic analysis sample are compared with actualistic modifications...

Human-wildlife interactions can be negative when the needs and behavior of wildlife negatively influence human goals, or vice-versa, management these may lead to conflict. Here, we review information on between humans in South America contained 136 scientific publications, focusing terrestrial mammalian predators raptors. We found that most studies were conducted Brazil, Argentina, Chile Colombia. The methodology commonly used investigate was interviews with rural inhabitants. Studies...
