Abstract

Abstract The European Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus is a large-sized scavenger exploiting carcasses of livestock and wild ungulates and thus having a paramount importance in the natural ecosystems. In this study, we report on an adult Griffon Vulture detected with lead levels in the bones over the threshold. After two years of tracking, the bird died. The corpse’s clinical examination and radiography detected the presence of two embedded lead pellets from a healed gunshot wound in its right wing. Quantitative laboratory analysis of lead in bone and liver samples evidencing subclinical/chronic lead intoxication of the Griffon Vulture could potentially be a result of the long-term exposure to the lead originating from the pellets in its wing.
Griffon Vulture(Gyps fulvus Hablizl,1783)的长期铅中毒据说是非法射击的结果
摘要欧洲狮鹫Gyps fulvus是一种利用牲畜和野生有蹄类动物尸体的大型食腐动物,因此在自然生态系统中具有极其重要的地位。在这项研究中,我们报告了一只成年格里芬秃鹫的骨骼中铅含量超过阈值。经过两年的追踪,这只鸟死了。尸体的临床检查和射线照相术检测到,尸体右翼枪伤愈合后,有两颗嵌入的铅丸。对骨骼和肝脏样本中铅的定量实验室分析表明,Griffon Vulture亚临床/慢性铅中毒可能是长期暴露于翅膀中颗粒产生的铅的结果。
