3. 2. Estimating historic ranges of extinct scavenging birds from North America during the late Pleistocene using co-occurrence data from the fossil record

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Melissa Miranda; [2023-06-30]
   Keywords : Scavenging birds; Vultures; Co-occurrence Data; Range Estimates; Spatial Autoregressive Models; Co-extinction;

   Abstract : The aim of my study was to estimate and compare the historic range of nine scavenging birds from North America that went jointly extinct with their mammalian megafaunal prey in the Late Pleistocene. Although the severity and timing of their co-extinction are strongly correlated, there has been little analytical support in providing estimates for the possible geographic distribution of scavenging birds prior to the extinction event.

   Keywords : pose estimation; shape estimation; 3D reconstruction; articulated mesh; bird; common murre;

   Abstract : Automatic 3D reconstruction of birds can aid researchers in studying their behavior. Recently there has been an attempt to reconstruct a variety of birds from single-view images. However, the common murre's appearance is different from the birds that have been studied. Moreover, recent studies have focused on side views. READ MORE

5. 4. Hawk-kite as a scaring method for avian pests in Kenyan rice fields

6. 5. The foraging distribution of Cape gannets in relation to Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Author : Pelagia Maria Tsousi; [2023]
   Keywords : cape gannets; morus capensis; marine Protected Areas; addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area; foraging distribution;

   Abstract : Seabirds are considered to be the sentinels of the ocean, as they are able to locate their prey in spite of the great heterogeneity of the marine environment. During the breeding season, these central-place foragers not only need to find prey to maintain themselves but also to feed their young. READ MORE
