    Diet assessments as a tool to control invasive species: comparison between Monk and Rose-ringed parakeets with stable isotopes 

    Borray-Escalante, Natalia A.; Mazzoni, Daniele; Ortega-Segalerva, Alba; Arroyo, Lluïsa; Morera-Pujol, J.; González-Solís, J.; Senar, Juan Carlos (2020-04-12)

    Food is a main limiting factor for most populations. As a consequence, knowledge about the diet of invasive alien species determines the design of control measures. The Monk and Rose-ringed parakeets are two typical species ...

    Do invasive mosquito and bird species alter avian malaria parasite transmission? 

    Martínez-de la Puente, Josué; Díez-Fernández, Alazne; Montalvo, Tomás; Bueno-Marí, Rubén; Pangrani, Quentin; Soriguer, Ramon; Senar, Juan Carlos; Figuerola, Jordi (2020-03-20)

    Alien mosquito and vertebrate host species may create novel epidemiological scenarios for the transmission of pathogens naturally circulating in the invaded area. The exotic Monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) has established ...

    Sex and age effects on monk parakeet home-range variation in the urban habitat 

    Senar, Juan Carlos; Moyà, Aura; Pujol, Jorge; Tomàs, Xavier; Hatchwell, Ben J. (2021-12-06)

    Home-range size is a key aspect of space-use, and variation in home-range size and structure may have profound consequences for the potential impact of damage and control strategies for invasive species. However, knowledge ...
