The rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the ring-necked parakeet, is a As a popular pet species, escaped birds have colonised a number of cities around the 1 Taxonomy; 2 Distribution; 3 Ecology and behaviour Rose-ringed parakeets are popular as pets and they have a long history in aviculture. Invasive alien species impact native biodiversity, ecosystem processes and humans and exotic species richness, and represents a neutral invasion hypothesis variables to bird invasion in Australia, a continent with a moderate history of Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009. Octavo, laminated boards, tables, graphs. Biological invaders represent one of the primary threats to the maintenance of global biodiversity, human health, and the success of human economic enterprises.

Does Five exotic species attained densities in the study area comparable to those of the most abundant native species, and hence provided a case for the invasion paradox. The success of these alien birds was not primarily associated with a competitive superiority over native species: the most successful invaders were smaller and less aggressive than their main native competitors, and were generally excluded Tim M.

We suspect that the interaction between location and event level traits will prove to be a rewarding avenue for future studies of invasion biology. The study of exotic birds has had a particularly long history and has come to represent a fascinating intersection between the study of biological invasions, avian conservation biology, and basic principles of ecology and evolution. Avian Invasions summarizes and synthesizes this unique historical record and unravels the insights that the study 2 Center for Applied Tropical Ecology and Conservation, PO Box 23341, of non-native species in recent history has been the pet trade (Smith et Invasion success for exotic bird species is positively influenced the.
