| hematologic and plasma biochemical reference values for three species of black cockatoos (calyptorhynchus species). | black cockatoos in southwest western australia face population declines as a result of habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, competition with other species, vehicle strikes, and shootings. in this study, hematologic and plasma biochemical reference values were determined for 3 endemic western australian black cockatoo species: carnaby's cockatoo (calyptorhynchus latirostris) (n = 34), baudin's cockatoo (calyptorhynchus baudinii) (n = 22), and forest red-tailed black cockatoo (calyptorhynchus ... | 2013 | 23772452 |
| tracheal resection and anastomosis in a red-tailed black cockatoo (calyptorhynchus banksii banksii). | tracheal stricture is an uncommon sequel to tracheitis in birds. we describe a case in a red-tailed black cockatoo that was attributed to a bacterial tracheitis associated with inhaled plant material and was successfully resolved by surgical resection and anastomosis of the trachea. | 2010 | 20958285 |
| inference by exclusion in the red-tailed black cockatoo (calyptorhynchus banksii). | inference by exclusion is the ability to select a given option by excluding the others. when designed appropriately, tests of this ability can reveal choices that cannot be explained by associative processes. over the past decade, exclusion reasoning has been explored in several non-human taxonomic groups, including birds, mainly in corvids and parrots. to increase our understanding of the taxonomic distribution of exclusion reasoning and, therefore, its evolution, we investigated exclusion perf ... | 2019 | 29316266 |
| correction: phylogeography of the iconic australian red-tailed black-cockatoo (calyptorhynchus banksii) and implications for its conservation. | an amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper. | 2020 | 32694588 |
| phylogeography of the iconic australian red-tailed black-cockatoo (calyptorhynchus banksii) and implications for its conservation. | advances in sequencing technologies have revolutionized wildlife conservation genetics. analysis of genomic data sets can provide high-resolution estimates of genetic structure, genetic diversity, gene flow, and evolutionary history. these data can be used to characterize conservation units and to effectively manage the genetic health of species in a broad evolutionary context. here we utilize thousands of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) and mitochondrial dna to provide the fi ... | 2020 | 32398870 |
| foraging enrichment alleviates oral repetitive behaviors in captive red-tailed black cockatoos (calyptorhynchus banksii). | the relationship between inadequate foraging opportunities and the expression of oral repetitive behaviors has been well documented in many production animal species. however, this relationship has been less-well examined in zoo-housed animals, particularly avian species. the expression of oral repetitive behavior may embody a frustrated foraging response, and may therefore be alleviated with the provision of foraging enrichment. in this study, we examined the effect of different foraging-based ... | 2020 | 31682017 |
| museum specimens provide reliable snp data for population genomic analysis of a widely distributed but threatened cockatoo species. | natural history museums harbour a plethora of biological specimens which are of potential use in population and conservation genetic studies. although technical advancements in museum genomics have enabled genome-wide markers to be generated from aged museum specimens, the suitability of these data for robust biological inference is not well characterized. the aim of this study was to test the utility of museum specimens in population and conservation genomics by assessing the biological and tec ... | 2019 | 31484222 |
| multi-locus sequence typing as a tool to investigate environmental sources of infection for cryptococcosis in captive birds. | a systematic investigation into environmental sources of infection was conducted at an australian zoological park after cryptococcosis, caused by cryptococcus gattii vgi, was diagnosed in a red-tailed black cockatoo (calyptorhynchus banksii) residing in a large aviary with a diverse range of other avian species. a single tree with an extensive hollow was identified as the likely source of infection based on heavy culture of c. gattii vgi, multi-locus sequence typing and phylogenetic analysis of ... | 2018 | 30329084 |
