Micromelia in Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) [PDF]
Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2006 Two cases of unilateral micromelia are described in wild juvenile little penguins (Eudyptula minor). The first bird was found at San Remo, Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. The bird's left flipper was reduced in length, and radiography demonstrated severe shortening and dysplasia of the humerus.

Evaluating the Quantitative Accuracy and Application of DNA Metabarcoding for Dietary Reconstruction in Ruminants. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study assessed the accuracy of DNA metabarcoding using ITS2 and trnL markers to reconstruct sheep diets under controlled feeding trials with high‐ and low‐digestibility forage, and in a secondary trial with low‐level inclusions of Medicago sativa. ITS2 offered higher species‐level resolution, while trnL provided broader taxonomic coverage but less
