Constructing a multiple‐part morphospace using a multiblock method
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Popular current methods for quantifying variation in biological shape are well‐suited to analyses of isolated parts (e.g. the same bone from the skeletons of many individuals).

Morphometric patterns in Recent and fossil penguins (Aves, Sphenisciformes) [PDF]
Journal of Zoology, 1989 A total of 622 skin specimens, 527 skeletons, and myological data compiled by Schreiweis (1972) were used to investigate morphometric patterns within and among the 18 Recent species of Spheniscidae, and to compare the family with a fighted species, the common diving‐petrel (Pelecanoides urinator), considered by some authorities to be similar to the ...

Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 2010 Abstract We present the first detailed description of Perudyptes devriesi, a basal penguin from the middle Eocene (~42 Ma) Paracas Formation of Peru, and a new analysis of all published extinct penguin species as well as controversial fragmentary specimens.

The earliest fossil record of a medium-sized penguin
Polish Polar Research, 2011 The earliest fossil record of a medium-sized penguinThe fossil record of Antarctic Sphenisciformes dates as early as the late Palaeocene Cross Valley Formation, Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula. However, the best known Antarctic locality for early penguin remains (mainly isolated bones) is the Eocene La Meseta Formation that outcrops in the ...
