A protective nesting association with native species counteracts biotic resistance for the spread of an invasive parakeet from urban into rural habitats

Frontiers in Zoology, 2020
Background Non-native species are often introduced in cities, where they take advantage of microclimatic conditions, resources provided by humans, and competitor/predator release to establish and proliferate.

Estimated and in vivo measurements of bite force demonstrate exceptionally large bite forces in parrots (Psittaciformes)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 2, Page 299-315, February 2025.
Bite force in parrots has been explored using data from muscle masses. The values were validated by comparison with data for bite force collected from live parrots. The parrot's reputation for a strong bite force is well founded. Abstract Jaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume.

Twoline Skiffia's Latency to Exit a Refuge and to Locate Food When Socialising With Invaders and Raising Temperatures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
Native twoline skiffia's behaviour in response to increasing temperatures and coexistence with invasive guppies was assessed and results uncovered potential benefits for the native fish, including quicker emergence from shelters and more efficient food location when associating with invasive species.

Effects of landscape composition on the occurrence of a widespread invasive bird species in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2017
Despite the growing concern and literature on biological invasions, few studies have adopted an explicit landscape perspective to understand occurrence patterns of invasive species. We investigated how landscape composition influences the occurrence of a

Moult and age determination criteria of the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus)

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation
Age determination of the invasive monk parakeet Myiopsitta monachus has been hampered by its juvenile plumage showing only subtle differences from subsequent plumages, and little is known about its moult.

The socioecology of Monk Parakeets: Insights into parrot social complexity

The Auk, 2014
ABSTRACT Our recent work on Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) reported dominance steepness values that were inaccurate because of a bug in the analysis program. Updated steepness values are more moderate than initially reported, which places captive Monk Parakeet groups midway between egalitarianism and despotism.
