This study addresses for the first time the movement patterns of the globally near‐threatened Bearded Vulture Gypaetus barbatus in its most important stronghold, the high‐altitude mountain ranges of Asia. Tracked individuals (n = 8) in the Annapurna Himalayan range (Nepal) foraged over a vast range of 60 715.9 km² and our results indicated age‐class differences in the use of space. Territorial adults showed very small annual home‐ranges (K90 = 150.3 km²), whereas immatures wandered extensively and covered vast ranges of the mountains (K90 = 23 930.8 km²). For adults and immatures, these values are notably larger than the other two studied populations in the world (Pyrenees and South Africa). This suggests that the studied Annapurna population might exhibit lower breeding density than in the Pyrenees or South Africa, possibly due to lower food availability.

使用GPS遥测技术在尼泊尔的喜马拉雅山胡V的时空运动

这项研究首次探讨了在其最重要的据点亚洲高海拔山脉上，濒临灭绝的胡须秃鹰（Gypaetus barbatus）在全球范围内的活动方式。追踪 到的安纳布尔纳喜马拉雅山脉（尼泊尔）中的个体（n = 8）在60 715.9 km ²的广阔范围内觅食，我们的结果表明空间使用的年龄级差异。领土成年动物的年居范围很小（K90 = 150.3 km ²），而未成年动物广泛游荡并覆盖了大范围的山脉（K90 = 23 930.8 km ^2））。对于成年人和未成年人，这些值明显大于世界上其他两个研究的人群（比利牛斯和南非）。这表明所研究的安纳布尔纳峰种群的繁殖密度可能比比利牛斯或南非低，这可能是由于食物供应量较低。
