Into the sea: Antimicrobial resistance determinants in the microbiota of little penguins (Eudyptula minor).

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020
Terrestrial and aquatic birds have been proposed as sentinels for the spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria, but few species have been investigated as sentinels, specifically in the context of AMR in the marine ecosystem.

Distribution of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) along the greater Kaikōura coastline, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2020
The identification and subsequent protection of suitable breeding habitat for little penguins (Eudyptula minor) is restricted by data deficiency across large stretches of the species range.

Synchronized group association in little penguins, Eudyptula minor

Animal Behaviour, 2007
Most seabirds form groups on land and at sea, but there is little information whether seabird groups are formed deliberately or randomly. We investigated whether little penguins formed groups composed of the same individuals when they crossed the beach each day over four breeding seasons (2001–2004) using an automated penguin monitoring system (APMS ...

Breeding success of little penguins (kororā, Eudyptula minor) in Wellington, 2014-2023: a first record of double brooding on North Island, New Zealand

Notornis
Kororā, little penguin, breed in New Zealand and Australia with two subspecies now recognised after numerous taxonomic revisions: Eudyptula minor minor only in New Zealand, and E.m.

Environmental physiology of the little penguin (Eudyptula minor)

2023
This study investigates the energetic adaptations and constraints of the little penguin in relation to its aquatic lifestyle and examines the possible function of sleep as an energy conserving mechanism. The little penguin had a similar level of standard metabolic rate to other birds.

Lethal Toxoplasmosis in a Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) from Tasmania

The Journal of Parasitology, 1991
A penguin (Eudyptula minor) from Tasmania, Australia, died following a 3-day illness. The liver and spleen parenchyma contained grossly visible foci of discoloration. Numerous tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii were seen associated with necrosis in sections of liver and spleen.

Breeding of little penguins (Eudyptula minor), including multiple brooding, at South Bay, Kaikōura, New Zealand, 2006–2017

Notornis, 2020
For 11 breeding seasons, a colony of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) was monitored at South Bay, Kaikōura. The 106 breeding attempts from 86 pairings consisted of 68 single clutches, eight attempts made up four replacement clutches (an unsuccessful ...

The Annual Energetics Cycle of Little Penguins (Eudyptula Minor)

Ecology, 1990
Isotope turnover techniques were used to measure the metabolic and food consumption rates of free—living Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) throughout the annual cycle in Bass Strait, Australia. Water and sodium flux rates were also measured, and all parameters showed significant seasonal differences.

STANDING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN NONANESTHETIZED LITTLE PENGUINS (EUDYPTULA MINOR) TO ASSESS RESPIRATORY SYSTEM ANATOMY AND MONITOR DISEASE.

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine, 2019
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans were performed in clinically healthy, nonanesthetized, standing little penguins (Eudyptula minor) to determine reference ranges for air-sac and lung volumes, as well as lung density.

Growth Strategies in Blue PenguinsEudyptula minor minor

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 1987
This study of breeding Blue Penguins Eudyptula minor minor was undertaken in south-eastem New Zealand during 1982/83 and enabled quantitative analyses and comparisons of nestling growth rates of morphometric characters. Comparisons both within and between subspecies were used to assess the degree of variation in growth rates and breeding success.
