Revealing the unknown world of the endangered Lear's macaw using GPS-tracking data: identification of critical habitats for conservation Open
Understanding space use and home range is essential for the conservation planning of threatened species as it helps to assess the suitability, extent, and placement of conservation areas that are imperative for species survival and protect…

Mapping priority areas to mitigate the risk of electrocution of range‐restricted bird species Open
Power line electrocution is a major threat to bird conservation, particularly for some endangered species. While various mitigation measures have been developed to reduce electrocutions, there is limited information on how to prioritize th…

The widespread keeping of wild pets in the Neotropics: An overlooked risk for human, livestock and wildlife health Open
Zoonoses constitute a major risk to human health. Comprehensive assessments on the potential emergence of novel disease outbreaks are essential to ensure the effectiveness of sanitary controls and to establish mitigating actions. Through a…

Power line electrocution as an overlooked threat to Lear's Macaw (<i>Anodorhynchus leari</i>) Open
Electrocution can pose a serious threat to large birds, particularly threatened species with low population sizes. However, few studies have focused on the impacts of electrocution on large parrots such as the Endangered Lear's Macaw Anodo…

Roadside Car Surveys: Methodological Constraints and Solutions for Estimating Parrot Abundances across the World Open
Parrots stand out among birds because of their poor conservation status and the lack of available information on their population sizes and trends. Estimating parrot abundance is complicated by the high mobility, gregariousness, patchy dis…

Epizoochory in Parrots as an Overlooked Yet Widespread Plant–Animal Mutualism Open
Plant–animal interactions are key to sustaining whole communities and ecosystem function. However, their complexity may limit our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and the species involved. The ecological effects of epizoochory re…

Conserving the Diversity of Ecological Interactions: The Role of Two Threatened Macaw Species as Legitimate Dispersers of “Megafaunal” Fruits Open
The extinction of ecological functions is increasingly considered a major component of biodiversity loss, given its pervasive effects on ecosystems, and it may precede the disappearance of the species engaged. Dispersal of many large-fruit…

Internal seed dispersal by parrots: an overview of a neglected mutualism Open
Despite the fact that parrots (Psitacifformes) are generalist apex frugivores, they have largely been considered plant antagonists and thus neglected as seed dispersers of their food plants. Internal dispersal was investigated by searching…
