Spatial Patterns of Diversity in Forest Birds of Peninsular India. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we analyzed patterns of diversity and endemism of forest birds across peninsular India, highlighting the influence of climate and topography. Our study shows that the southern Western Ghats are a major evolutionary hotspot for forest birds in peninsular India, and topographically complex and climatically stable areas support the highest ...

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 ...

Identifying links between the biodiversity impacts and monetary costs of alien birds

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 1561-1576, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Alien species can be damaging to native biodiversity, human well‐being and the economy. Identifying the complete range of impacts they cause, and the ways that these impacts are connected, may inform the prioritisation of management actions to mitigate impacts.

A novel parakeet‐selective feeder for control of invasive psittacines

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 47, Issue 3, September 2023., 2023
A novel parakeet‐selective feeder, developed by scientists at the USDA APHIS Wildlife Services National Wildlife Research Center, proves promising in the delivery of contraceptives to invasive parakeet population. This new development may aid managers around the world in reducing populations of this intelligent and charismatic pest.

Micro-evolutionary diversification among Indian Ocean parrots: temporal and spatial changes in phylogenetic diversity as a consequence of extinction and invasion [PDF]

, 2015
Almost 90% of global bird extinctions have occurred on islands. The loss of endemic spe- cies from island systems can dramatically alter evolutionary trajectories of insular species biodiversity, resulting in a loss of evolutionary diversity important ...

A survey of parasitic infections in Psittaciformes and Passeriformes in Mashhad, Iran. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This survey in Mashhad, Iran, explored the presence of gastrointestinal and external parasites in 751 ornamental birds. The results indicated that although gastrointestinal parasites were relatively uncommon, the prevalence of external parasites, such as mites in canaries and nematodes in some other species, was notably higher.

Enthymemes: From reconstruction to understanding [PDF]

, 2011
Traditionally, an enthymeme is an incomplete argument, made so by the absence of one or more of its constituent statements. An enthymeme resolution strategy is a set of procedures for finding those missing elements, thus reconstructing the enthymemes and
