Unravelling vulture avoidance tactic of wind turbines combining empirical and simulation data

This study examines griffon vulture flight responses to wind turbines at multiple spatial scales using GPS tracking and simulations, finding wind farm-specific avoidance patterns influenced by topography.

The use of social information in vulture flight decisions

This study shows that vultures use social information to find thermal updrafts, especially in poor flight conditions, with lower-ranked individuals less likely to follow social cues.
