The financial success or failure of a lighting or power
enterprise is measured by the efficiency of the machinery,
and the efficiency of the machinery depends upon
that of each piece of apparatus of which it is composed.
In alternating current distribution the transformers are
frequently scattered in large numbers...
Large-scale poisoning events are common to scavenging bird species that forage communally,
many of which are in decline. To reduce the threat of poisoning and compensate for other persistent threats,
management, including supplemental feeding, is ongoing for many reintroduced and endangered vulture
populations. Through a longitudinal study of lead exposure...

General circulation models (GCMs) predict that the global hydrological cycle will change in response to anthropogenic warming. However, these predictions remain uncertain, in particular, for precipitation (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2013, https://doi .org/10.1017/CB09781107415324.004). Held and Soden (2006, https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI3990.1) suggest that as lower tropospheric water vapor concentration increases in a...
Condors and vultures are distinct from most other terrestrial birds because they use extensive soaring flight for their daily
movements. Therefore, assessing resource selection by these avian scavengers requires quantifying the availability of
terrestrial-based habitats, as well as meteorological variables that influence atmospheric conditions necessary for soaring. In
this study,...

Condors and vultures comprise the only group of terrestrial vertebrates in the world that are
obligate scavengers, and these species move widely to locate ephemeral, unpredictable, and patchily-distributed
food resources. In this study, we used high-resolution GPS location data to quantify
monthly home range size of the critically endangered California...
Lead (Pb) is a metabolic poison that can negatively influence biological processes, leading to illness and mortality
across a large spectrum of North American avifauna (>120 species) and other organisms. Pb poisoning can result from
numerous sources, including ingestion of bullet fragments and shot pellets left in animal carcasses, spent...
