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 ...

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.

Sex and Age Effects on Monk Parakeet Home-Range Variation in the Urban Habitat [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 Home-range size is a key aspect of space-use, and variation in home-range size and structure may have profound consequences for the potential impact of damage and control strategies for invasive species.

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.

Individual identity information persists in learned calls of introduced parrot populations. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Animals can actively encode different types of identity information in learned communication signals, such as group membership or individual identity. The social environments in which animals interact may favor different types of information, but whether
