‘O sibling, where art thou?’ – a review of avian sibling recognition with respect to the mammalian literature [PDF]

, 2004
Avian literature on sibling recognition is rare compared to that developed by mammalian researchers. We compare avian and mammalian research on sibling recognition to identify why avian work is rare, how approaches differ and what avian and mammalian ...

Community attitudes and support for the restoration of a cryptic seabird in a peopled landscape

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological restoration projects aim to facilitate species recovery, including the reintroduction and recolonisation of extirpated species. In the case of highly mobile species, restoring habitat within the species' historic range can lead to natural recolonisation.

Influence of fasting during moult on the faecal microbiota of penguins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Many seabirds including penguins are adapted to long periods of fasting, particularly during parts of the reproductive cycle and during moult. However, the influence of fasting on the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota has not been investigated in seabirds.

Economical genotyping of little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor) clades from feather-based DNA [PDF]

, 2013
Determination of clade membership is a crucial requirement for many research questions addressing phylogeography, population structure, mating patterns, speciation, and hybridisation.

Behavioural evolution in penguins does not reflect phylogeny [PDF]

, 2008
Over the past two decades, behavioural biologists and ecologists have made effective use of the comparative method, but have often stopped short of adopting an explicitly phylogenetic approach. We examined 68 behaviour and life history (BLH) traits of 15

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

The feeding and breeding ecology of little blue penguins (Eudyptula minor) from Tiritiri Matangi Island, New Zealand : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Ecology, Massey University [PDF]

, 2006
At present the New Zealand populations of Little Blue Penguins (LBP: Eudyptula minor) are classified as 'Threatened' and in 'Gradual Decline' by the Department of Conservation. Effective conservation management of the North Island sub-species requires an

Spatial Segregation and Trophic Niche Divergence in Two Disjunct Populations of Wedge‐Tailed Shearwater Ardenna pacifica in Eastern Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated habitat use and trophic niche differentiation in two wedge‐tailed shearwater populations in eastern Australia (2015 to 2019). Temperate birds foraged mainly in southeastern Australian waters and undertook a pre‐staging detour towards the subtropical frontal zone before migration, whereas subtropical birds foraged further east ...

The time course of corticosterone responses in kororā (little penguin, Eudyptula minor) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]

, 2017
When birds and other vertebrates perceive a situation to be threatening the hypothalamopituitary- adrenal (HPA) axis is activated and glucocorticoid hormones are secreted from the adrenal gland.
