Genetic evidence links invasive monk parakeet populations in the United States to the international pet trade.

BMC evolutionary biology - 24 Jul 2008

Russello Michael A, Avery Michael L, Wright Timothy F

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Severe ecological and economic impacts caused by some invasive species make it imperative to understand the attributes that permit them to spread. A notorious crop pest across its native range in South America, the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) has become established on four other continents, including growing populations in the United States. As a critical first step to studying mechanisms of...
