Non‐native species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide due to their direct and indirect effects on native communities. There are two opposing hypotheses to explain how non‐native species successfully establish outside their native range.

The spread of non‐native species
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

: The grey-breasted parakeet (Pyrrhura griseipectus) is an endangered psittacine species that have been affected by illegal trade and deforestation. Currently, this endemic species is only found in three areas in Ceará state, in Brazil.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Refinement of Biomarker Pentosidine Methodology for use on Aging Birds
There is no reliable method for determining age for most species of long-lived birds. Recent success using the skin chemical pentosidine as a biomarker has shown promise as an aging tool for birds.

Possible Role of Songbirds and Parakeets in Transmission of Influenza A(H7N9) Virus to Humans
Avian-origin influenza A(H7N9) recently emerged in China, causing severe human disease. Several subtype H7N9 isolates contain influenza genes previously identified in viruses from finch-like birds. Because wild and domestic songbirds interact with humans

A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

The Effect of Familiarity on the Temporal Dynamics of Spatial and Affiliative Associations in Monk Parakeets [PDF]
To successfully navigate dynamic social environments, animals must manage their relationships by deciding who to interact with, how often, and when.

ABSTRACT Non‐native species can be introduced to novel environments such as cities via wildlife trade. These populations may have conservation value—particularly if they are of a species threatened in its native range. Genetic tools can help assess the fitness of introduced populations by indicating if they are (1) suffering the consequences typically ...
