Long distance dispersal of monk parakeets

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2022
Invasive species threaten biodiversity all around the world and for this reason, identifying the causes and mitigating their effects is a priority in conservation biology. One of the most important factors when dealing with invasive species is dispersal, because the distribution of dispersal distances among members of a population can greatly affect ...

A novel parakeet‐selective feeder for control of invasive psittacines

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Over 40 species of parrots, members of order Psittaciformes, have established nonnative populations globally. Monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) are among the most invasive bird species worldwide.

Diet to tissue discrimination factors for the blood and feathers of the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) and the ring-necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri)

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2019
Stable isotope analyses (SIAs) have been widely used in recent years to infer the diet of many species. This isotopic approach requires using diet to tissue discrimination factors (DTDFs) for each prey type and predator tissue, i.e., to determine the ...

Nest-building behavior of Monk Parakeets and insights into potential mechanisms for reducing damage to utility poles [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
The Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) commonly uses utility poles as a substrate for building large, bulky nests. These nests often cause fires and electric power outages, creating public safety risks and increasing liability and maintenance costs for ...

How far will they go? Considerations on the potential expansion of the Ring-necked Parakeet (Psittacula krameri) and Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in Veneto region (Italy) with MaxEnt distribution models

Journal of Biological Research, 2022
Predictive models of species distribution, including several parakeets, may be very useful for understanding the actual and potential distribution of alien species. The Ring-necked Parakeet and the Monk Parakeet are two alien species found in the Veneto

First record of Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese, 1888) (Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae) parasitizing invasive monk parakeets in Santiago, Chile

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Myiopsitta monachus is an invasive psittacine with wide distribution due to the pet trade. Its large communal nests and synanthropic nature contribute to its successful colonization of cities, from where it seems to be expanding in range and numbers ...

Temporary Behavioral Responses to Playbacks by a Pest Parrot and Implications for Management [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022
Human-wildlife interactions continue to increase due to anthropogenic disturbances, with some interactions resulting in conflict. Leveraging a taxa’s bias for a particular sensory cue is a promising management avenue for reducing the potential and ...

Abundance of White-fronted Parrots and diet of an urban parrot assemblage (Aves: Psittaciformes) in a green Neotropical city

Avian Research, 2022
Urban ecosystems are evolutionarily recent novel environments acting as biodiversity filters. Psittacidae birds are considered successful urban adapters mainly due to their generalist feeding and opportunistic behavior, allowing them to occupy ...

Subtle sexual plumage color dimorphism and size dimorphism in a South American colonial breeder, the Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus)

Avian Research, 2020
Background Parrots (Psittacidae Family) are one of the most colorful groups of birds in the world, their colors produced both structurally and via unusual pigments (psittacofulvins). Most species are considered to be monogamous, and many have been viewed

Sex and Age Effects on Monk Parakeet Home-Range Variation in the Urban Habitat

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.
