MCPs including all recorded GPS locations (100% MCP), 95% contours from kernel density estimation (KDE), and path grid cell ranges (GCRs) represent overall foraging ranges. 50% KDE contours and core GCRs represent core foraging ranges. Total distances travelled during total tracking periods, mean (± SE) distances between consecutive GPS locations, maximum and mean (± SE) total distances travelled per day are shown for each vulture. The tracking period and number of GPS locations recorded are also shown.
