A novel parakeet‐selective feeder for control of invasive psittacines

چکیده

Abstract Over 40 species of parrots, members order Psittaciformes, have established nonnative populations globally. Monk parakeets ( Myiopsitta monachus ) are among the most invasive bird worldwide. In their introduced range, monk caused negative impacts on native species, habitats, economies, and human safety. Lethal population management has been complicated by intelligence parakeets, as they quickly alter behavior to avoid risks. Further, lethal control programs halted due public controversy, highly charismatic. The contraceptive DiazaCon demonstrated effectively reduce fertility in other psittacines. field applications, chemical agents (e.g., toxicants contraceptives) must be delivered a manner that prohibits access nontarget species. We developed tested parakeet‐selective feeder. feeder allows limits lowering wire exclusion curtain around feeder, requiring zygodactyl toe arrangement food. trials with captive free‐ranging Florida, USA. successfully accessed food from throughout study. mean number daily uses decreased high nearly 16 per day when was not implemented <1 use implemented. Our findings suggest is promising tool for delivery bait treated manage parakeet populations, but implementation success will likely vary target location, local faunal diversity, availability alternative forage.

A Novel Hybrid Droop-Isochronous Control Strategy for Microgrid Management

The droop control strategy is the most common approach for microgrids control but its application is limited due to frequency deviation following a load change. Complementary control strategy has then been proposed to solve the problem using a communication network. However, under this strategy, regular loads profile produces a continuous change of output power of all distributed generators (DG...

A Novel Successive Approximation Method for Solving a Class of Optimal Control Problems

This paper presents a successive approximation method (SAM) for solving a large class of optimal control problems. The proposed analytical-approximate method, successively solves the Two-Point Boundary Value Problem (TPBVP), obtained from the Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP). The convergence of this method is proved and a control design algorithm with low computational complexity is present...
