Over four years, Dr. Johanne Martens has been studying the Beak and Feather Disease virus, which is appearing more often among wild bird populations, especially parrots. Focusing on Crimson Rosellas, monitoring nest boxes, Johannes and her team from Deakin University have discovered much about this disease, and points to some methods to ameliorate the potential effects on both wild and captive populations. In the usual Bird Nerd part of the show, Johanne tells us how she studied escaped Amazon parrots, gone feral in Europe, and her favourite bird things. These are the links to all of Johanne's BFDV papers: Prevalence in common species: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0235406 Persistence of infection: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01584197.2019.1640069 Seasonal fluctuations: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-64631-y Detection in nest boxes: https://peerj.com/articles/9211/ And here are her papers on urban Amazons: Breeding: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10336-017-1436-9 Diet: https://bioone.org/journals/Ardea/volume-101/issue-1/078.101.0111/Diet-and-Feeding-Behaviour-of-Naturalised-Amazon-Parrots-in-a/10.5253/078.101.0111.full   And this a link for many of the Animals on the Internet -  like the Internet of Things! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/09/science/space-station-wildlife.html Currently trying to get some eyes and subscribers on The Bird Emergency on YouTube, so I can put a bit more effort into the video side of things, so if you would like more visual content, please subscribe, and I will watch with interest if that's what you want!

014 Beak and Feather Disease virus with Johanne Martens

We sat down with Johanne Martens, PhD candidate studying the ecology and evolution of Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV) in Australian parrots. She is currently at the Centre for Integrative Ecology at Deakin University in Geelong, Victoria. Over some Black Feather cocktails &amp; hazelnut-chocolate slice, we discuss her early research in introduced Amazon parrots in Germany, avian disease ecology and epidemiology, and the impacts of Beak &amp; Feather Disease Virus in Australia. Follow Johanne on Twitter @johanne_martens, and check out @DeakinCIE for more ecological goodness 😊
