• BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “A recent study in Belgium has identified negative effects on breeding Strubbe & Matthysen 2007, 2009, Strubbe et al. 2010).”
• Establishment success of invasive ring‐necked and monk parakeets in Europe (2009, background): “As typical of Psittacidae, ring-necked parakeets are secondary cavity-nesters and are known to compete with native species (Strubbe & Matthysen, 2007, 2009a).”
• Experimental evidence for nest-site competition between invasive ring-necked parakeets (Psittacula krameri) and native nuthatches (Sitta europaea) (2009, background): “However, ring-necked parakeets reach their highest abundances in cavity-rich forest patches in urban environments (Strubbe and Matthysen, 2007).”
• Application of the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) to a global assessment of alien bird impacts (2016, background): “…Table 1): parakeets have been found to cause reductions in the size of populations of nuthatches (Sitta europeae) in Belgium, but with no evidence to show that these impacts have resulted in local population extinctions or changes to the structure of communities (Strubbe & Matthysen, 2007, 2009).”
• Bird feeders may sustain feral Rose-ringed parakeets Psittacula krameri in temperate Europe (2011, background): “Strubbe & Matthysen (2007) suggested that the great diversity of fruits and seeds, native or exotic, found in towns could explain the bird’s occurrence in urban parks rather than in the countryside.”
• Worldwide impact of alien parrots (Aves Psittaciformes) on native biodiversity and environment: a review (2014, background): “Displacement and/or nest destructions by introduced RRPs have been observed in Europe (BATLLORI & NOS 1985; CRAMP 1985; DUBOIS 2007; STRUBBE & MATTHYSEN 2007; CZAJKA et al. 2011), South America (NEBOT 1999) and in the Middle East (SHWARTZ et al. 2009).”
