Poison-related mortality effects in the endangered Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) population in Spain (2009, methodology): “…use of poison, since 94.9% of the individuals were adults and 82% of the deaths were recorded during the breeding season, with both proportions being significantly higher than those recorded in other raptor species (González et al. 2007; Margalida et al. 2008a; Hernández and Margalida 2008).”
Dietary shifts in two vultures after the demise of supplementary feeding stations: consequences of the EU sanitary legislation (2010, background): “Also, a higher availability of carcasses would reduce the probability of ingestion of poisoned preys (Margalida et al. 2008).”
Illegal killing slows population recovery of a re-introduced raptor of high conservation concern – The red kite Milvus milvus (2010, background): “…changes to the law, illegal killing by some stakeholders continues, and in these circumstances, re-introduced populations may fail to establish or may show reduced population growth rates than would otherwise be supported by the environment (Breitenmoser et al., 1993; Margalida et al., 2008).”
