Chromosomal Diversity and Karyotype Evolution in South American Macaws (Psittaciformes, Psittacidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Most species of macaws, which represent the largest species of Neotropical Psittacidae, characterized by their long tails and exuberant colours, are endangered, mainly because of hunting, illegal trade and habitat destruction. Long tailed species seem to

With a little help from my (Psittacidae) friends [PDF]
Learning & Behavior, 2020 Understanding the distribution of and mechanisms underlying prosocial behavior in other species has been hampered by methodological differences among studies, questions about animals' interpretations of the designs, and low phylogenetic diversity. Brucks and von Bayern's recent report that African gray parrots are proactively prosocial reiterates the ...

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Population recovery of an endangered macaw enhances long‐distance seed dispersal via stomatochory
Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by large, mobile vertebrates plays a key role in shaping plant spatial dynamics and community structure. However, how variation in animal population size influences the magnitude and spatial scale of seed dispersal remains poorly understood.

The link between colorfulness and extinction risk across the world's passerine birds
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many of the functional traits that mediate extinction risk across the range of biodiversity relate indirectly to a species’ ability to persist in a changing world, yet certain traits such as coloration directly affect human interactions with wildlife.
