“…The karyotype of Melopsittacus undulatus (Rothfels et al, 1963;Van Brink, 1959;Van Dongen & De Boer, 1984) shares common features with the karyotype of Loriinae Trichoglossus haematodus massena, and Trichoglossus flavoviridis presented in this report. In both cases, the seven pairs of autosome macrochromosomes, are very much alike in shape and size and, they are followed by large biarmed microchromosomes.…”

“…Cytogenetic studies also show that, in spite of the geographic and taxonomic distance the Psittrichas fulgidus karyotype (Van Dongen & De Boer, 1984) is very similar to long tailed Arini species karyotypes (The also Indo Malayan parrot Prioniturus discurus (This report) shows a similar karyotype too).…”

With colourful plumage, charismatic character and vocal learning abilities, parrots are one of the most striking and recognizable bird groups. Their attractiveness has drawn human attention for centuries, and members of the Psittaciformes order were, also, among the first avian species to be subject to cytogenetic studies which have contributed to understand their taxonomic and evolutionary relationships.We present here the karyological results collected by the study of thirteen parrot species new to karyology. These results are additionally supported by G banded preparations obtained in five species.The order Psittaciformes is an interesting example of a, typically, non migratory avian lineage with Gondwanaland origin, whose evolutionary radiation has been shaped by the Cenozoic geographic and climatic events that affected the land masses derived from the Gondwanaland continental split.We discuss the results of our studies, in conjunction with the previously compiled Psittaciformes cytogenetic data to delineate a picture of the chromosomal evolution of the order, concurrently with the biogeographic history of the lands in the southern Hemisphere.Considering the available data on parrot cytogenetics, a "standard parrot karyotype pattern" is proposed for evolutionary comparisons.Several biogeographic, and phylogenetically related "karyogram patterns" are also identified, and mechanisms of chromosome rearrangement that associate this patterns among them, and with the standard parrot karyotype pattern are proposed. These schemes on parrot chromosomal variation are discussed in relation to the general avian chromosome evolutionary theses proposed by cytogenetic and molecular genomic researchers.

Protein requirements of three species of parrots with distinct dietary specializations

Dietary protein deficiency is considered a major obstacle in the evolution of highly specialized nectarivorous and frugivorous birds. Proposed physiological mechanisms that enable such specialists to subsist on low-protein diets include minimized endogenous protein losses, which contribute to reduced protein requirements. I compared these traits among nectarivorous red lories (Eos bornea), frugivorous Pesquet's parrots (Psittrichas fulgidus), and granivorous budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus). My results suggest that, relative to budgerigars, red lories and Pesquet's parrots have low endogenous protein losses and reduced crude protein (CP) requirements. Based on nitrogen balance analyses, diets containing 1.0%, 3.2%, and 8.2% CP (on a dry matter (DM) basis) would meet the minimal protein requirements for maintenance for red lories, Pesquet's parrots, and budgerigars, respectively. Low endogenous protein losses and reduced protein requirements are effective physiological adaptations that allow birds such as red lories and Pesquet's parrots to specialize on lowprotein foods.

The karyotypes of three species of cockatoos, Cacatua moluccensis, Cacatua goffini, and Cacatua sanguinea, and one Amazon parrot, Amazona aestiva, are described for the first time. These karyotypes are compared to the twenty-three species of psittacines published previously. Cacatua moluccensis appears to be a link in the evolutionary tree between Probosciger aterrimus and the other cockatoo species studied. This study reaffirms that the cockatoos are probably most closely related to the Ioris (Loriculus sp.) and Amazon parrots based on karyotype (M. W. M. Van Dongen & L. E. M. De Boer, (Genetica 65: 109-117) 1984).
