Balancing conflict and coexistence: Interactions between invasive monk parakeets and native urban birds

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions often generate complex ecological paradoxes, particularly when invasive species act as ecosystem engineers that simultaneously compete with and benefit native communities. Understanding these dual dynamics is critical for managing urban biodiversity.

Assessing the Genetic Health and Conservation Value of an Introduced Urban Population of a Critically Endangered Parrot

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
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 ...
