Demographic processes in colonial vulture species

Understanding how density dependence modifies demographic parameters in long-lived vertebrates is a challenge for ecologists. A number of studies have highlighted the importance of habitat heterogeneity in density dependence in territorial species, but less information exists on demographic processes in colonial species. In this study, long-term data from a recovering population of Cinereous Vultures in southern Spain were used to evaluate environmental and population parameters influencing...
