A revised nomenclature and classification for family-group taxa of parrots (Psittaciformes)
The last 20 years have seen a resurgence in systematic studies of parrots (Aves: Psittaciformes). Principally but not solely molecular in nature, this body of work has addressed the circumscription of higher level groupings within the Psittaciformes and relationships among them. Stability has now emerged on many formerly contentious matters at these levels. Accordingly, we consider it appropria...
متن کاملA new parrot from the Miocene of Germany, with com- ments on the variation of hypotarsus morphology in some Psittaciformes
A new taxon of parrot (Psittaciformes) is described from the Middle Miocene of Southern Germany.

Although the new taxon cannot be assigned to any of...
متن کاملMorphological diagnoses of higher-level phyllostomid taxa (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)
Phyllostomidae (New World leaf-nosed bats), the second most speciose chiropteran family, is one of the best-known and wellstudied chiropteran groups. Due to the ecological and morphological diversity of this family, comparative studies of phyllostomids abound in the literature, and numerous systematic and phylogenetic analyses have been published. Unfortunately, many of these studies have reach...
متن کاملGuidelines and ethical considerations for housing and management of psittacine birds used in research.
The Psittaciformes are a large order of landbirds comprising over 350 species in about 83 genera. In 2009, 141 published studies implicated parrots as research subjects; in 31 of these studies, 483 individuals from 45 different species could be considered laboratory animals. Amazons and budgerigars were by far the most represented psittacine species. The laboratory research topics were categori...
