An approach to the effects of longevity, sexual maturity, and reproduction on telomere length and oxidative stress in different Psittacidae species [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Introduction: Aging is a multifactorial process that includes molecular changes such as telomere shortening. Telomeres shorten progressively with age in vertebrates, and their shortening rate has a significant role in determining the lifespan of a ...

DNA damage (8-OHdG) and telomere length in captive Psittacidae birds with different longevity. [PDF]
Front Vet SciAging is a complex process influenced by internal and external factors. Oxidative stress damages DNA, leading to 8-hydroxy-2’ deoxyguanosine formation (8-OHdG).

Lost companions: a new quill mite species and its possible coextinction with the Carolina parakeet [PDF]
ParasitologyInvestigations of the parasites associated with extinct avian species provide unique insights into the ecology and evolution of both hosts and their parasitic counterparts. In the present paper, a new quill mite species, Peristerophila conuropsis sp. n.,
