Birds of prey are highly selective of habitats. However, the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) has adaptations that allow them to occupy different habitats, with ranges of ~1300 km². Vulture populations, far from adjusting to random processes, depend on the availability of trophic resources in the different mosaics of the landscape. The "Gran Humedal...

... lower, ranging from seven to 19 occurrences (Fig. 2b), while in the interior zone the relative abundance values reached 56 occurrences (Fig. 2c). In addition, the amount of area used by Turkey Vulture within the cays zone and the interior zone was different, with high values of probability of presence and larger areas within the interior zone (Fig. 3). When comparing the relative abundances of the cays zone and the interior zone of the GHNCA (Fig. 4), by counting points, within the cays system these tend to be lower (Z=-4.373, p<0.001). Within this area, 95% of the sampling stations had abundances between ...

Step selection functions (SSFs) are flexible models to jointly describe animals' movement and habitat preferences. Their popularity has grown rapidly and extensions have been developed to increase their utility, including various distributions to describe movement constraints, interactions to allow movements to depend on local environmental feature...
