• Diclofenac residues as the cause of vulture population decline in Pakistan (2004, background): “In 2000, the Peregrine Fund initiated its Asian Vulture Crisis Project with the Ornithological Society of Pakistan, establishing study sites at 16 OWBV colonies in the Kasur, Khanewal and Muzaffargarh–Layyah Districts of Pakistan to measure mortality at over 2,400 active nest site”
• Rapid population declines and mortality clusters in three Oriental white-backed vulture Gyps bengalensis colonies in Pakistan due to diclofenac poisoning (2006, background): “The proximate cause of the decline was identified as being due to high rates of mortality from renal failure (Gilbert et al., 2002) and renal failure was found to be due to the toxic effect of diclofenac residues in livestock carcasses (Oaks et al.”
• Another Continental Vulture Crisis: Africa's Vultures Collapsing toward Extinction (2016, background): “The “Asian Vulture Crisis” of the late 1990s saw populations of three species of Gyps vulture collapse throughout South Asia, by >96% in just 10 years, due to incidental Diclofenac poisoning (Prakash 1999; Gilbert et al. 2002; Oaks et al. 2004).”
• Rapid population declines of Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) and red‐headed vulture (Sarcogyps calvus) in India (2006, background): “…south and south-east Asia, Oriental white-backed vulture Gyps bengalensis, long-billed vulture Gyps indicus and slender-billed vulture Gyps tenuirostris, have declined by more than 98% since the early 1990s (Gilbert et al., 2002; Prakash et al., 2003; Green et al., 2004; The Peregrine Fund, 2006).”
• Ecotoxicology of human pharmaceuticals. (2006, background): “The kidney was also found to be a target of diclofenac in vultures, acute renal failure was probably the reason for the visceral gout (Oaks et al., 2004) and the occurrence of extensive deposits of uric acid on and within internal organs (Gilbert et al., 2002).”
• State of the world's raptors: Distributions, threats, and conservation recommendations (2018, background): “During the Asian vulture crisis, populations of three Gyps vulture species collapsed by> 96% in 10 years (Prakash, 1999; Gilbert et al., 2002), providing a stark illustration of the need to detect trends quickly to act and conserve species.”
