DESCRIPTION: Climate change is reshaping vulture distributions. Contraction
  of African vultures’ ranges under climate change have been reported in 
 addition to escalating poisoning and persecution they already face. Within
  the broader global change context\, shifting climates interact with other
  drivers such as land-use and land-cover changes\, with cascading effects 
 for the ecosystem services vultures provide. Vultures remove carrion which
  helps prevent zoonotic disease spread\, water and land contamination. Whe
 n global change drivers interact\, there is a consequent mismatch between 
 this important ecological role they play and where they can persist now an
 d in the future. How climate change\, expanding human activities from land
  use changes (human footprint)\, and increasing aridity interact will infl
 uence the future distribution of African vultures and still poorly underst
 ood. This talk presents results from my first PhD chapter\, examining spec
 ies‑level distribution patterns across Africa and assessing how climate 
 change\, human footprint\, and aridity may reshape potential ranges in the
  future. I highlight patterns of distribution change such as range persist
 ence\, expansion and contraction across nine African vulture species in re
 sponse to interacting global change drivers. I then outline plans for my s
 econd chapter which aims to understand individual-level movement responses
  within the distribution range areas identified in chapter one\, sharing p
 reliminary insights on connectivity\, isolation\, space and time allocatio
 n. I will conclude with implications for African vulture conservation plan
 ning including overlaps between future predicted areas\, poisoning exposur
 e\, and habitat suitability losses in protected areas.\nSpeaker: Jonathan
