Need and seek for dietary micronutrients: endogenous regulation, external signalling and food sources of carotenoids in new world vultures.
Among birds, vultures show low concentrations of plasma carotenoids due to the combination of their large size, general dull colouration and a diet based on carrion. We recorded the concentration of each carotenoid type present in plasma of the Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) according to age and sex...
