The Role of Monk Parakeets as Nest-Site Facilitators in Their Native and Invaded Areas [PDF]
Biology, 2021 While most of the knowledge on invasive species focuses on their impacts, little is known about their potential positive effects on other species. Invasive ecosystem engineers can disrupt recipient environments; however, they may also facilitate access ...

The effect of social structure on vocal flexibility in monk parakeets [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe social complexity hypothesis argues that communicative complexity arises as a result of social complexity, with this occurring through mechanisms including plasticity and selection.

Infectious agents present in monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) and rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) invasive species in the parks of Madrid and Seville, Spain [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 IntroductionThe introduction of invasive species into an ecosystem could result in biodiversity loss and the spread of infectious agents that could cause re-emergent or emergent zoonotic diseases.

Annual Censuses and Citizen Science Data Show Rapid Population Increases and Range Expansion of Invasive Rose-Ringed and Monk Parakeets in Seville, Spain [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Population changes of invasive species can go unnoticed long before population explosions, so long-term monitoring programs are needed to assess changes in population size.

Quantitative genetics in the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) from central Argentina: Estimation of heritability and maternal effects on external morphological traits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is a South American species unique among parrots; it builds communal stick nests that allow independence from tree or cliff cavities required by most parrots.

Vocal tract articulation revisited: the case of the monk parakeet. [PDF]
J Exp Biol, 2012 SUMMARYBirdsong and human speech share many features with respect to vocal learning and development. However, the vocal production mechanisms have long been considered to be distinct. The vocal organ of songbirds is more complex than the human larynx, leading to the hypothesis that vocal variation in birdsong originates mainly at the sound source ...
