Energy requirements of free ranging little penguin, eudyptula minor

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1986
Abstract 1. 1. Onshore and at sea metabolism and water turnover of Little Blue Penguins, Eudyptula minor , attempting to breed during September 1984 on Phillip Island, Australia, were measured using the doubly-labeled water method. 2. 2. Water influx of two penguins fasting onshore was 18.1 ml/kgβd, with a CO 2 production of 0.903 ml/kgβhr ...

Post-release breeding success of oil-rehabilitated and non-rehabilitated little blue penguins, Eudyptula minor, following the M/V Rena oil spill, New Zealand.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019
During the 2011 M/V Rena oil spill in Tauranga, New Zealand, 383 little blue penguins (LBP, Eudyptula minor) were oiled, rescued and rehabilitated, with 90.6% surviving to be released back to the wild.

DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF MYCOBACTERIOSIS IN A COLONY OF LITTLE PENGUINS (EUDYPTULA MINOR).

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine, 2019
A group of zoo-housed little penguins (Eudyptula minor) was diagnosed with mycobacteriosis. While undergoing multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging for an unrelated research project, pulmonary lesions were detected in multiple individuals.

THE NESTING OF THE LITTLE PENGUIN EUDYPTULA MINOR

Ibis, 1958
SUMMARY1. The behaviour of the Little Penguin Eudyptula minor was observed at Cat Island, Bass Strait during the 1957/58 nesting season.2. Although the birds have a number of natural enemies, man is probably the most serious destructive agent in this area at present.3.

Spatial scale and nest distribution of little penguins (Eudyptula minor)

2023
The breeding habitats of all seabirds are not uniformly distributed spatially and temporally, but typically exist as discrete patches. Most species of seabirds breed in colonies that vary in size, and are generally located close to foraging areas. These colonies typically form patterns in the landscape and maintain some inter-connectivity that can be ...

Sleep and metabolic rate in the little penguin,Eudyptula minor

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 1984
The effects of sleep upon metabolic rate in the little penguin were examined at thermoneutral and low temperatures in day and night experiments. Little penguins show similar electrophysiological indices of sleep to other birds. The amount of sleep increased at night due to increased frequency of sleep periods and decreased with cold exposure due to a ...

Haematology and metabolism of the blood of the little penguin, Eudyptula minor

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1988
1. We studied the haematology of the little penguin, Eudyptula minor, and measured red cell enzymes, and the rate of O2 and glucose consumption and CO2 and lactate production of whole penguin blood. 2. Little penguins have a very low RBC count (1.66 x 10(12) l-1) and very large red cells (MCV = 229 microns 3), resulting in a normal haemoglobin and ...
