Halpern et al 2023 Priorities for synthesis research in ecology and environmental science.

Urban vultures preferentially roost at sites surrounded by landscapes
with fewer edges between forest and urban development
and near water

Vultures in the southeastern
United States ingest more plastic
in landscapes with more
developed landcover
