A parakeet genome project?
نویسنده
چکیده
Researcher William Haseltine, head of Human Genome Sciences Inc. in Rockville, Maryland, likes to claim that knowledge from the human genome, combined with a few technology breakthroughs, will someday enable humans to live forever. Most researchers who study aging have more modest expectations--for example, trolling the genome for new insights into genes involved in so-called oxidative damage to cells and genes, which is thought to limit an organism's life-span.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Velogenic Newcastle Disease Virus Strain Isolated from a Clinically Healthy Exotic Parakeet (Melopsittacus undulatus) in Pakistan
The complete genome sequence of a virulent Newcastle disease virus (vNDV) strain isolated from an exotic parakeet (Melopsittacus undulatus) is described here. The virulent strain parakeet/Pak/R-Pindi/SFR-16/2016 was isolated from a bird reared as a pet in the province of Punjab in the northern region of Pakistan in 2016. Phylogenetic analysis classified the isolate as a member of NDV class II, ...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of impacts of an invasive parakeet on foraging behavior of native birds
Resource competition is one potential behavioral mechanism by which invasive species can impact native species, but detecting this competition can be difficult due to the interactions that variable environmental conditions can have on species behavior. This is particularly the case in urban habitats where the disturbed environment can alter natural behavior from that in undisturbed habitats. Th...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of Forbes' parakeet (Cyanoramphus forbesi)
The taxonomic status of Forbes' parakeet has remained unresolved for several decades. With the advent of modern molecular biological techniques, it has become possible to augment traditional taxonomic practices (i.e. those based on morphology) with DNA data analysis. The conservation status of Forbes' parakeet (presently listed by as "critically threatened") warrants urgent research into its ge...
متن کاملResource Use by Non-Native Ring-Necked Parakeets (Psittacula krameri) and Native Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) in Central Europe
In general, non-native bird species may competitively exclude native species from nest sites. The potential resource conflict between a native and an introduced bird species, the native European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) and the introduced Asian Ring-necked Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), was inferred from hole occupancy in parks of the German Upper Rhine Valley (Wiesbaden, Mannheim, Schwetzin...

New Zealand Journal of Ecology (1998) 22(2): 161-171 ©New Zealand Ecological Society Previous anecdotal observations suggested that the diets of red-crowned and yellow-crowned parakeets were similar. Both species have been observed feeding primarily on flowers, fruits, seeds, leaves and buds with invertebrates forming a relatively minor component of both species’ diet (Wilkinson and Wilkinson, ...
