Sexual and geographic dimorphism in northern rockhopper penguins breeding in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2020 The Endangered northern rockhopper penguin Eudyptes moseleyi, like all penguins, is monomorphic, making sex determination of individuals in the field challenging.

Trophic niches of a seabird assemblage in Bass Strait, south-eastern Australia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 The foraging niches of seabirds are driven by a variety of factors, including competition for prey that promotes divergence in trophic niches. Bass Strait, south-eastern Australia, is a key region for seabirds, with little penguins Eudyptula minor, short-

Erysipelothrix Septicemia in a Little Blue Penguin (Eudyptula Minor) [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2004 On June 25, 2002, aquarium veterinarians treated a 5-year-old, male little blue penguin ( Eudyptula minor) that was acutely recumbent and dull, with inappetence of 24-hour duration. The penguin died within 10 minutes of presentation despite emergency resuscitation efforts.

Searching for the true diet of marine predators: incorporating Bayesian priors into stable isotope mixing models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Reconstructing the diet of top marine predators is of great significance in several key areas of applied ecology, requiring accurate estimation of their true diet.

Changes in diet and trophic position of a top predator 10 years after a mass mortality of a key prey [PDF]
, 2012 After the disappearance of primary prey, seabirds exhibit gradually decreased breeding performance, and eventually the population size drops. Results are presented of an investigation into the diet of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) at Phillip Island ...

Waddling on the Dark Side: Ambient Light Affects Attendance Behavior of Little Penguins [PDF]
, 2016 Visible light on Earth largely comes from the sun, including light reflected from the moon. Predation risk is strongly determined by light conditions, and some animals are nocturnal to reduce predation.

Oceanic thermal structure mediates dive sequences in a foraging seabird
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Changes in marine ecosystems are easier to detect in upper‐level predators, like seabirds, which integrate trophic interactions throughout the food web.
