Conservation Implications of Illegal Bird Trade and Disease
CONSERVATION IMPLICATIONS OF ILLEGAL BIRD TRADE AND DISEASE RISK IN PERU A Dissertation by ELIZABETH FRANCES DAUT Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Donald J. Brightsmith Co-Chair of Committee, Markus J. Peterson Committee Members, Renata Ivanek-Miojevic Christian Brannstrom Head of Department, Roger Smith III May 2015 Major Subject: Veterinary Microbiology Copyright 2015 Elizabeth Frances Daut ABSTRACT Trade in wild-caught animals as pets is a global conservation and animal-welfare concern. Illegal and poorly-regulated legal wildlife trade can threaten biodiversity, spread infectious diseases, and result in considerable animal suffering and mortality. I used illegal wildlife trade in Peru, specifically native bird trade, as a case study to explore important aspects and consequences of the trade for domestic markets. With data collected from a five-year market survey and governmental seizure records, I applied a statistical modeling approach to investigate the influence of Peru’s legal export quota system on the country’s illegal domestic bird trade. I used an infectious-disease mathematical modeling approach to analyze how illegal harvest influenced disease dynamics in a wild parrot population. Finally, I used qualitative research methods to investigate the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their members’ philosophical perspectives toward wildlife in combating illegal trade. I found that Peru had a thriving illegal trade in native birds (mostly parrots) for domestic consumers; 150 species were recorded in markets and/or seizures with over 35,250 individuals offered for sale (2007–2011).

Northern Peru Marañon Endemics & Marvelous Spatuletail 4Th to 25Th September 2016
Northern Peru Marañon Endemics & Marvelous Spatuletail 4th to 25th September 2016 Marañón Crescentchest by Dubi Shapiro This tour just gets better and better. This year the 7 participants, Rob and Baldomero enjoyed a bird filled trip that found 723 species of birds. We had particular success with some tricky groups, finding 12 Rails and Crakes (all but 1 being seen!), 11 Antpittas (8 seen), 90 Tanagers and allies, 71 Hummingbirds, 95 Flycatchers. We also found many of the iconic endemic species of Northern Peru, such as White-winged Guan, Peruvian Plantcutter, Marañón Crescentchest, Marvellous Spatuletail, Pale-billed Antpitta, Long-whiskered Owlet, Royal Sunangel, Koepcke’s Hermit, Ash-throated RBL Northern Peru Trip Report 2016 2 Antwren, Koepcke’s Screech Owl, Yellow-faced Parrotlet, Grey-bellied Comet and 3 species of Inca Finch. We also found more widely distributed, but always special, species like Andean Condor, King Vulture, Agami Heron and Long-tailed Potoo on what was a very successful tour. Top 10 Birds 1.

Day 1: 4 September: Pacific coast and Chaparri Upon meeting, we headed straight towards the coast and birded the fields near Monsefue, quickly finding Coastal Miner. Our main quarry proved trickier and we had to scan a lot of fields before eventually finding a distant flock of Tawny-throated Dotterel; we walked closer, getting nice looks at a flock of 24 of the near-endemic pallidus subspecies of this cracking shorebird.

Molecular Prevalence of Cryptosporidium Spp. Among Companion Birds Kept in Pet Shops in Japan
ISSN (Print) 0023-4001 ISSN (Online) 1738-0006 Korean J Parasitol Vol. 56, No. 3: 281-285, June 2018 ▣ BRIEF COMMUNICATION https://doi.org/10.3347/kjp.2018.56.3.281 Molecular Prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. among Companion Birds Kept in Pet Shops in Japan 1 1, 1 1, 2 1 1 Yuko Iijima , Naoyuki Itoh *, Totsapon Phrompraphai , Yoichi Ito , Yuya Kimura , Satoshi Kameshima 1Laboratory of Small Animal Internal Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Kitasato University, Higashi 23-35-1, Towada, Aomori 034-8628, Japan; 2Ito Animal Hospital, Gakuendai 2-2-1, Miyashiro, Minami Saitama, Saitama 345-0826, Japan Abstract: Cryptosporidium is the most common protozoan that can infect a wide range of animals, including mammals and birds. Avian Cryptosporidium spp. can cause enteric and respiratory diseases which can be fatal in birds and some species are zoonotic. Companion birds have the potential as reservoir due to their close contact with humans. Pet shops are the major source of companion birds. However, few reports are available regarding Cryptosporidium spp. infection among companion birds kept in pet shops. The present study reports the prevalence and molecular characteristics of Cryptosporidium spp. among companion birds kept in pet shops in Japan. A total of 265 fresh fecal samples were ob- tained from birds kept in 4 pet shops; these birds belonged to 41 species in 3 bird orders. A nested polymerase chain re- action (PCR) assay targeting the small subunit rRNA gene was employed for the detection of Cryptosporidium spp. A to- tal of 24 samples (9.1%) were positive, and Cryptosporidium spp.

The Illegal Parrot Trade in the Neo-Tropics
THE ILLEGAL PARROT TRADE IN THE NEO-TROPICS: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POACHING AND ILLICIT PET MARKETS By Stephen Ferreira Pires © 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – Newark Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in Partial Fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Criminal Justice Written under the direction of Dr. Ronald Clarke and approved by _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ Newark, New Jersey January, 2012 1 Abstract Due to the global illegal parrot trade in conjunction with habitat loss, parrots are among the most threatened bird species in the world. Despite laws against parrot poaching throughout the neo-tropics, the lack of enforcement in the wild and in city pet markets enables poachers, itinerant fences (i.e. middlemen), and sellers to continue in the illegal wildlife trade while parrot populations further decline. Recent publications, which take account of parrot poaching variation in Mexico, Bolivia, and Peru, have enabled criminologists to attempt to explain why some parrot species tend to be poached more often than others. Using two recent studies that look at illicit pet markets in 7 cities within Peru and Bolivia (Gastanaga et al., 2010; Herrera and Hennessey, 2008), this dissertation will analyze why some parrot species end up on any of the seven illicit pet markets (N=50) and why some species were never found on any illicit pet market despite their close proximity to one (N=17). Using the CRAVED model (Clarke, 1999) and the Choice-Structuring Properties (Clarke and Cornish, 1987) concept to examine the illegal parrot trade, this study finds that illicit parrot markets are not homogenous in nature.

The Avifauna of El Angolo Hunting Reserve, North-West Peru: Natural History Notes
Javier Barrio et al. 6 Bull. B.O.C. 2015 135(1) The avifauna of El Angolo Hunting Reserve, north-west Peru: natural history notes by Javier Barrio, Diego García-Olaechea & Alexander More Received 10 December 2012; final revision accepted 17 January 2015 Summary.—The Tumbesian Endemic Bird Area (EBA) extends from north-west Ecuador to western Peru and supports many restricted-range bird species. The most important protected area in the region is the Northwest Biosphere Reserve in Peru, which includes El Angolo Hunting Reserve (AHR). We visited AHR many times between 1990 and 2012. Among bird species recorded were 41 endemic to the Tumbesian EBA and six endemic subspecies that may merit species status, while 11 are threatened and eight are Near Threatened. We present ecological or distributional data for 29 species. The Tumbesian region Endemic Bird Area (EBA) extends from Esmeraldas province, in north-west Ecuador, south to northern Lima, on the central Peruvian coast (Stattersfield et al. 1998). It covers c.130,000 km2 and supports one of the highest totals of restricted-range bird species: 55 according to Stattersfield et al. (1998), or 56 following Best & Kessler (1995), the third largest number of endemic birds at any EBA globally. Within the EBA, in extreme north-west Peru, the Northwest Biosphere Reserve (NWBR) covers more than c.200,000 ha, with at least 96% forest cover (cf. Fig 38 in Best & Kessler 1995: 113, where all solid black on the left forms part of the NWBR). This statement is still valid today (Google Earth). The NWBR covers the Cerros de Amotape massif, a 130 km-long cordillera, 25–30 km wide at elevations of 250–1,600 m, running parallel to the main Andean chain (Palacios 1994).
