THREAD: I research the adaptation of #BlackCockatoos to novel environs, w/a focus on diet and food resources.
This is becoming highly relevant in light of the ongoing bushfire crisis here in Aus, so I wanted to write some thoughts based on my experience and research. /1
The focus of this thread is parrots, but can be applied to other animal groups too.
I also work on adaptation to urban areas, but fire-affected habitat can be classified as a novel environment as well, as the resulting habitat and resource availability is drastically changed. /2
So, fire kills animals and destroys habitat, which can take a long time to recover. For survivors the most immediate concern is a lack of food resources. Longer term they will also be impacted by loss of breeding resources, like nest hollows, which are already in short supply. /3
