The Number and Distribution of Introduced and Naturalized Parrots

Diversity, 2021
Parrots have been transported and traded by humans for at least the last 2000 years and this trade continues unabated today. This transport of species has involved the majority of recognized parrot species (300+ of 382 species).

Genetic relatedness in Monk Parakeet breeding trios

Journal of Ornithology, 2016
Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) are cooperative breeders, which means that one adult helps the breeding pair (trios). We found a breeding trio composed of two males and one female in a single breeding chamber of a two-chamber compound nest. Males were full siblings. The female was the half sibling of both males.

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

Variable social organization and breeding system of a social parrot revealed by genetic analysis

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 451-464, April 2026.
Social organization and contributions to reproduction vary widely within and between species that breed in groups. Such variation often arises from the process of group formation, which drives patterns of relatedness and hence the degree of social conflict and co‐operation between group members.

Population Viability Analysis of Monk Parakeets in the United States and Examination of Alternative Management Strategies

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
In the United States, monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) are expanding their geographical distribution, and their overall population size is growing exponentially. Monk parakeets are causing widespread economic damage in the United States by nesting on

Fine‐Scale Genomic Divergence in the Amazonian Pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) Highlights the Need for Local Management Strategies

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater habitats face significant human disturbances globally, impacting food security and ecosystems. Protected areas can mitigate biodiversity loss, but limited data on population connectivity hinders conservation management. This study examines pirarucu (Arapaima gigas), a heavily exploited and threatened Amazonian fish, using genomic ...

An integrative, peer‐reviewed and open‐source cooperative‐breeding database (Co‐BreeD)

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2597-2614, December 2025.
Co‐BreeD is the first updatable and open‐source database dedicated to cooperative breeding. It enables continuous, non‐binary measurement of cooperative breeding, transforming how we study breeding systems across taxa. Further, by linking biological estimates to their exact sampling location and period, it allows for unprecedented accuracy in the ...

Individual variation in animal communication: from species averages to unique voices

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2625-2640, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The comparative study of communicative behaviour in non‐human animals, especially primates, has yielded crucial insights into the evolution of human language. This research, mostly focused on the species and population level, has improved our understanding of the various socio‐ecological factors that shape communication systems.
