• Poison-related mortality effects in the endangered Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) population in Spain (2009, background): “The Egyptian vulture is a medium-sized, cliff-nesting, longlived, monogamous vulture species that inhabits a variety of habitats, mainly open landscapes in rugged regions where it exploits the carcasses of small and medium-sized animals (Donázar et al. 2002).”
• Contradiction in Conservation of Island Ecosystems: Plants, Introduced Herbivores and Avian Scavengers in the Canary Islands (2006, background): “The Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus majorensis, formerly occupying all the islands of the archipelago, is now restricted to Fuerteventura, where it maintains around 25 breeding pairs (Donazar et al. 2002).”
• Persistent electrocution mortality of Egyptian Vultures Neophron percnopterus over 28 years in East Africa (2012, background): “The Egyptian Vulture is prone to electrocution due to its habit of perching on power lines in desert areas where no trees are available for roosting (Donázar et al. 2002, pers. obs.).”
• Rapid population declines of Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) and red‐headed vulture (Sarcogyps calvus) in India (2006, background): “Given the uncertainty in the global population and declining numbers in Europe, these results suggest that the conservation status of the Egyptian vultures should be upgraded to endangered.”
• Widening the problem of lead poisoning to a South-American top scavenger: Lead concentrations in feathers of wild Andean condors (2011, background): “Several raptors species from those parts of the world have been found with medium-to-high levels of lead (e.g., Pain et al., 1995, 2005; Mateo et al., 1997, 2003; Donázar et al., 2002; Gangoso et al., 2009).”
• Reinventing mutualism between humans and wild fauna: insights from vultures as ecosystem services providers (2013, background): “…has nearly disappeared recently due to the development of modern societies and the precipitous decline of many scavenger populations worldwide (Donázar et al. 2002; Pain et al.
