Biology of Invasive Monk Parakeets in South Florida

The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2012
Abstract Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) have been in Florida for >40 yrs, having been imported by the thousands for the pet trade. This conspicuous, charismatic species is now widely established, but relatively little is known about its population biology outside South America.

Jaw myology and bite force of the monk parakeet (Aves, Psittaciformes) [PDF]

Journal of Anatomy, 2015
AbstractPsittaciform birds exhibit novelties in jaw bone structure and musculature that are associated with strong bite forces. These features include an ossified arcus suborbitalis and the muscles ethmomandibularis and pseudomasseter. We analyse the jaw musculature of the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) to enable future studies aimed at ...

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.

Can the intake of antiparasitic secondary metabolites explain the low prevalence of hemoparasites among wild Psittaciformes? [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Parasites can exert selection pressure on their hosts through effects on survival, on reproductive success, on sexually selected ornament, with important ecological and evolutionary consequences, such as changes in population viability ...

Rapid Changes in Cholinergic Signaling, Myelination, and Thyroid Signaling Pathway Gene Expression in Amygdala Subnuclei in Response to Social Status Maintenance and Reorganization

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 9, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Male CD‐1 mice form linear social hierarchies and can rapidly reform them following social reorganization. Through tag‐based sequencing in the medial amygdala (MeA), we identified several genes regulating cholinergic signaling, myelination, and thyroid signaling that rapidly shift expression 70 min after animals change social status.

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

Leaky doors: private captivity as a prominent source of bird introductions in Australia [PDF]

, 2017
The international pet trade is a major source of emerging invasive vertebrate species. We used online resources as a novel source of information for accidental bird escapes, and we investigated the factors that influence the frequency and distribution of

CARING FOR CATS IN CAIRO: Urban Grammars of Compassion

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 991-999, July 2025.
Abstract At first sight, Cairo is a cruel and harsh city, marked by extreme inequality and offering few resources for the poor. Like other metropolises, Cairo can easily numb its residents to the suffering of others. But it is also a city in which quiet, barely noticeable acts of compassion occur every day.
