Overview of key ecosystem indicators that could be used by land managers and researchers when monitoring or studying carrion. The set of indicators will help inform ecosystem management at the local, landscape, or global level and could help form the basis of developing more detailed carrion monitoring networks. Additional indicators measured by researchers at a standardized carcass type could build knowledge of the context‐dependent role of carrion in a global range of biomes and provide the basis for scaling the work up to using larger carcasses and additional indicators
