Article Synopsis
- Conservation practitioners need to manage nuisance species, like turkey vultures, which can be hazardous to aircraft.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of different types of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in dispersing vultures by examining their responses to various UAS platforms and approaches.
- Results showed that vultures reacted more quickly to fixed-wing UAS and perceived targeted approaches as riskier, but overall effectiveness varied, suggesting that the choice of UAS should depend on specific management goals related to dispersal.
