Early and accumulated experience shape migration and flight in Egyptian vultures

Early and accumulated experience shape migration and flight in Egyptian vultures

Two types of experience affect animals’ behavioral proficiencies and, accordingly, their fitness: early-life experience, an animal’s environment durin…

The final presentation of #BOUsci24 comes from Ron Efrat, who is framing translocations as a pseudo-experimental design to study conservation and ecology. The effects of captive vs. wild experiences on flight and migratory skills were compared in Egyptian vultures. #ornithology

Captive bred vultures also showed reduced efficiency in their flight mode, spending more time soaring per meter progressed while gliding. Again, this effect was only seen in the first migration year. #BOUsci24

Both groups migrated at the same time, followed the same routes to the same destination, but captive-bred vultures took ~40% more time to complete their first migration. The difference disappeared by the second migration. #BOUsci24 #ornithology

Reintroduction, captive breeding and conservation efforts in Nepal were hugely successful. Removal of diclofenac and promotion of safe drug use lead to improved survival rates and the declaration of the world's first safe vulture zone #ornithology #BOUsci24

At #BOUsci24, @rspb.bsky.social's John Mallord is talking about fall and rise of White-rumped vultures Vultures were driven to near-extinction with India's population declining by 99.9% over a decade, as they were dying from kidney-failure caused by diclofenac #ornithology

Supplementary feeding stations are also used to influence movement post release, and to monitor birds behaviour and predator vigilance through cameras. As you can see, they are also used to monitor birds' weight. #BOUsci24

Post-release monitoring is key to translocations. Best set of practices are outlined by the IUCN guidelines: portals.iucn.org/lib... Monitoring is used to learn where birds go, what they eat, who they interact and to handle predator threats. #BOUsci24

Birds go through behavioural training before release: 1️⃣ anti-predator training: www.sciencedirect.co... 2️⃣ foraging so they recognise native seeds, fruits and insects, and teaching them to use supplementary feeders 3️⃣ tracking social interactions: www.cell.com/trends/... #BOUsci24

World class veterinarians, nutritionists and avian care specialists work together to breed, raise and release this Hawaiian bird back to the wild. They were declared extinct in the wild since 2002 but it's been kept alive through dedicated conservation breeding #ornithology #BOUsci24

At #BOUsci24, Te Arawhetu Waipoua is showing us how the critically endangered kuaka (diving petrel) was hand-reared and translocated. Hand-rearing was a success as 10 chicks fledged and had the same mass as naturally-reared chicks and slightly longer wing lengths #ornithology

➡️ success definition and evaluation are rare ➡️ socio-political difficulties are common ✔️ A way forward? Pre-introduction local and stakeholder engagement is needed See how this worked for Hen Harrier reintroduction in England 👉 www.sciencedirect.co... #BOUsci24 #ornithology

➡️ knowledge of storks and their status was limited in the wider population ➡️ storks were generally viewed positively, they were perceived as elegant and charismatic ➡️ high levels of public support were found Reintroductions can help re-establish nature-people connections #BOUSci24

5/6 #BOUsci24 #SESH6 CJ7 eventually paired up with translocated male 022 and in 2022 they became the first breeding ospreys in Southern England since 1847. In just three years of breeding they have reared 9 chicks, demonstrating the high availability of food in the local landscape.

3/6 #BOUsci24 #SESH6 Seven individuals (and one wild fledged young) have so far returned to the UK, demonstrating the expected pattern of emigration by females bolstering neighbouring populations, and strong philopatry amongst males building the emerging local population.
