This study identifies heat stress as a key factor causing mortality in released Griffon vultures, leading to adjustments in release protocols to improve survival.

The paper introduces an information theory framework to segment animal movement paths into behavioral activity modes using statistical movement elements and canonical activity modes.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

This paper introduces a method to decompose animal movement tracks into statistical movement elements (StaMEs) and uses them to simulate realistic movement paths at different spatio-temporal scales.

The paper surveys Mycoplasma prevalence in wild and captive Griffon vultures, finding higher prevalence in imported and juvenile birds and subclinical effects on movement behavior.
