Supplemental feeding can increase the overall health of animals but also can have varying
consequences for animals dealing with parasites. Furthermore, the mechanism mediating …

Abstract Theory suggests that overcrowding and increased competition in urban
environments might be detrimental to individual condition in avian populations …

Captive breeding programs are an increasingly important tool for species' conservation
efforts, but not all species reproduce well in captivity. Identifying factors that affect the …

Abstract Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) are recognised as global extinction drivers of
threatened species. Unfortunately, biodiversity managers have few tested solutions to …

The study of animal behaviour and cognition would not be complete without investigations of
wild, free-ranging individuals in their natural environment. However, direct observations of …

Pathogens can have a profound impact on the population dynamics of avian populations.
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is considered one of the few pathogens capable of …

Effective evidence‐based conservation requires full quantification of the impacts of targeted
management interventions on focal populations. Such impacts may extend beyond target …

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Alexandrinus eques, formerly
Psittacula eques (the Mauritius Parakeet; Chordata; Aves; Psittaciformes; Psittacidae). The …

Supplemental feeding can increase the overall health of animals but also can have variable
effects on how animals defend themselves against parasites. However, the spatiotemporal …

When faced with emerging infectious diseases in wild populations, conservationists are
often forced to respond rapidly, with decisions based in uncertainty. Clear decision-making …
