Demographic responses to population recovery illustrated by 30 years of monitoring a once critically endangered parrot

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings highlight the dynamic nature of demographic processes throughout population recovery and emphasise the value of continued monitoring beyond apparent recovery to detect density‐dependent shifts in demographic rates of wildlife populations.

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

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

Parasites & Vectors, 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 ...

Hindlimb myology of the monk parakeet (Aves, Psittaciformes)

Journal of Morphology, 2014
ABSTRACTWe studied the hindlimb myology of the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus). Like all parrots, it has zygodactyl feet enabling perching, climbing, hanging, moving easily among trees, and handling food. Muscles were described and weighed, and physiological cross‐sectional area (PCSA) of four flexors and one extensor was calculated.

A Multispecies Systematic and Critical Review of Intranasal Administration in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Emergency Care: Promising Evidence and Overlooked Challenges

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review evaluates the clinical potential and limitations of intranasal (IN) drug administration in veterinary anaesthesia and emergency care. IN delivery can provide clinically relevant sedation, analgesia and drug reversal, but its success is not universally reliable and is strongly influenced by species‐specific anatomy, formulation ...

Isolamento de Salmonella spp. e Escherichia coli de psittaciformes: relevância em saúde pública

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2016
RESUMO: O tráfico de animais selvagens consiste numa atividade ilegal exercida em diversas partes do mundo, e o Brasil, em função de sua grande extensão territorial e vasta biodiversidade, é um país bastante atingido por essa prática.

Non‐native parrot species expand the trait space of avian communities by filling empty niches in urban areas

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1055-1070, July 2026.
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.

Origin and Diversification of the Genera Aratinga, Eupsittula, and Psittacara (Aves: Psittacidae)

Diversity
The arrival of psittacine in North America is well known but undefined. It is widely accepted that these birds originated in South America, and it has been suggested that different factors have promoted the biodiversity of birds in Mexico.

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1235-1254, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated
