Opportunistic sampling from the near-threatened Alexandrine parakeet uncovers genomes of a novel parvovirus and beak and feather disease virus. [PDF]
Aust Vet JBirds are known to harbour a wide range of pathogenic viruses, including the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV; species, Circovirus parrot), which poses a significant threat to the conservation of endangered avian species. This study reports the genomic identification and characterisation of a novel psittaciform chaphamaparvovirus (PsChPV‐6) and ...

Assessing the Genetic Health and Conservation Value of an Introduced Urban Population of a Critically Endangered Parrot. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT 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 ...

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]
, 2015 Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...
