We systematically reviewed the scientific and gray literature and used the United Nations Environment Programme \u2010 World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP\u2010WCMC) Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) trade database to establish temporal and geographical trade patterns of live exotic birds, mammals, and reptiles and to describe trends in research, taxonomic representation, and level of threat and legal protection of species traded. Birds were the most species\u2010rich and abundant class reported in trade; reptiles were second most abundant but unusually the most studied in this context; and mammals were least abundant in trade. Mammalian and reptilian species traded as pets were more likely to be threatened than expected by random. There have been a substantial number of Appendix I listed captive\u2010bred mammals and birds and wild\u2010caught birds and reptiles reported in trade to CITES. We identified the Middle East's emerging role as a driver of demand for exotic pets of all taxa alongside the well\u2010established and increasing role of South America and Southeast Asia in the market. Europe, North America, and the Middle East featured most heavily in trade reports to CITES, whereas trade involving South America and Southeast Asia were given most emphasis in the literature. For effective monitoring of and appropriate response to the international exotic pet trade, it is imperative that the reliability and detail of CITES trade reports improve and that scientific research be directed toward those taxa and locations that are most vulnerable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>El Mercado Global de Mascotas Ex\u00f3ticas 2006\u20102012<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cobi.12240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]],"date-time":"2014-03-25T00:30:59Z","timestamp":1395707459000},"page":"663-676","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":403,"title":["Global Trade in Exotic Pets 2006\u20132012"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"EMMA R.","family":"BUSH","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Conservation Research Unit Department of Zoology University of Oxford Recanati\u2010Kaplan Centre  Tubney House Tubney Oxon OX13 5QL United Kingdom"},{"name":"Biological and Environmental Sciences School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling  Stirling Scotland FK9 4LA United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SANDRA E.","family":"BAKER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Conservation Research Unit Department of Zoology University of Oxford Recanati\u2010Kaplan Centre  Tubney House Tubney Oxon OX13 5QL United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DAVID W.","family":"MACDONALD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Conservation Research Unit Department of Zoology University of Oxford Recanati\u2010Kaplan Centre  Tubney House Tubney Oxon OX13 5QL United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10745-009-9295-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1525\/bio.2013.63.12.6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"Species factsheet: Psittacus Erithacus","author":"BirdLife International","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3354\/esr00321"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3354\/esr00289"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","unstructured":"CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora).2004.A guide to interpreting outputs from the CITES trade database version 6.0.
