Article Synopsis
- Red Lists of threatened species are crucial for conservation, but they focus too much on individual species, overlooking the broader ecological and evolutionary impacts of biodiversity loss.
- Evaluations of Red Lists using Brazil as a case study show that they do not effectively capture functional and phylogenetic diversity among species, often matching random patterns instead.
- There's a need for new conservation methods, like the EDGE of Existence initiative, that better account for the ecological traits and evolutionary histories of species across various spatial scales.
Enteric bacteria are considered important potential pathogens in avian clinical medicine, causing either primary or opportunistic infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of enterobacteria in the intestinal microbiota of psittacine birds and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of the Escherichia coli isolates cultured. Fecal samples were collected from 300 parrots captured from the illegal wildlife trade in Goiás, Brazil and were processed using conventional bacteriological procedures.
