Inspiration behind: Origin and Phylogeny of Vultures
There are two birds commonly called "black vulture." One is Coragyps atratus which is found in the Americas as a member of family Vulturidae (or Cathartidae). The other is the Eurasian black vulture, Aegypius monachus of the family Accipitridae (eagles, hawks, kites, etc.). The phylogeny of the black vultures in particular isn't especially complicated, but phylogeny of vultures in general can be, since they exist in three distinct groups.
