Diazacon Inhibits Reproduction in Invasive Monk Parakeet Populations

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2008
Abstract: Throughout the United States, managers lack safe, effective methods to control expanding populations of the invasive monk parakeet ( Myiopsitta monachus ). Because the reproductive inhibitor diazacon (20,25 diazacholesterol) has been used effectively in captive ...

Seasonal acclimatization to temperature in monk parakeets

Oecologia, 1978
Metabolism and insulation of monk parakeets were determined in summer and compared with previously reported winter values. Fasting levels of metabolism were the same in winter and summer during the daytime: nighttime values were significantly lower in winter (6.11 versus 8.20 Wkg-1). Evaporative water loss at 20-30° C was significantly lower in winter (

Zoonotic Cryptosporidium meleagridis in urban invasive monk parakeets

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2023
AbstractZoonotic Cryptosporidium meleagridis was identified in invasive monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) from Santiago metropolis in Chile. Oocysts were isolated from nestlings' faeces, and a fragment of 18S ribosomal RNA gene was amplified and sequenced.

Temperature regulation and water requirements of the monk parakeet, Myiopsitta monachus

Oecologia, 1975
Monk parakeets have been introduced into North America within the past 15 years and are apparently becoming established in several geographical regions. Several physiological responses of monk parakeets related to climatic tolerance were examined, and it is concluded that the species is equipped physiologically to occupy most climatic situations with ...

Establishment success of invasive ring‐necked and monk parakeets in Europe

Journal of Biogeography, 2009
AbstractAim  Invasive alien species are a growing threat to biodiversity, and identifying the mechanisms that enable these species to establish viable populations in their new environment is paramount for management of the problems they pose. Using an unusually large number of both failed and successful documented introductions of parakeets (Aves ...
