The development of the corticosterone stress response of kororā (little penguin, Eudyptula minor) chicks in response to frequent handling : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University [PDF]

, 2018
In birds, when a stressor is encountered, the hypothalamo-pitiutary-adrenal (HPA) axis is activated to produce the corticosteroid, corticosterone. The production of this hormone incites a flight or fight response in order to best avoid long-term damage ...

Molecular Analysis of Predator Scats Reveals Role of Salps in Temperate Inshore Food Webs

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
High precision, high coverage DNA-based diet analysis tools allow great insight into the food web interactions of cryptic taxa. We used DNA fecal-metabarcoding to look for unrecorded taxa within the diet of a generalist central-placed predator, the ...
