Abstract

Coragyps atratus is a species of New World vulture belonging to the Cathartiformes order. Its geographical distribution comprises urban areas from the South of North America, Central America, and South America to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina. This species is increasingly adapted to live close to human concentrations, benefiting from the food supply due to the incorrect disposal of organic waste, therefore, these factors contributed to the population increase. C. atratus are common near urban areas and can lead to several problems, such as damage to urban architecture, including historic buildings. However, C. atratus provides invaluable ecosystem services, increasing the flow of nutrients through food chains and reducing the transmission of infectious diseases through carcass removal. C. atratus uses a mosaic of habitat types to build its nests, even in urban environments. We describe here an unconventional case of nesting by C. atratus in a building in an urban area in the municipality of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Coragyps atratus(贝赫斯坦,1793 年)
秃鹰(Coragyps atratus)是新大陆秃鹰的一种,属于秃鹰目。其地理分布包括从北美南部、中美洲和南美洲到阿根廷火地岛的城市地区。这个物种越来越适应生活在人类集中的地方,由于有机废物的不正确处理而受益于食物供应,因此,这些因素促成了人口的增加。C. atratus在城市附近很常见,会导致一些问题,比如对城市建筑的破坏,包括历史建筑。然而,C. atratus提供了宝贵的生态系统服务,增加了营养物质在食物链中的流动,并通过去除胴体减少了传染病的传播。即使在城市环境中,C. atratus也会使用各种栖息地类型的马赛克来筑巢。我们在这里描述了C. atratus在巴西南里奥格兰德州佩洛塔斯市市区的一座建筑物中筑巢的非常规案例。
