An enigmatic fossil penguin from the Eocene of Antarctica
Polar Research, 2017 Tarsometatarsi are key skeletal elements in penguin palaeontology. They constitute, among others, type specimens of all 10 widely accepted species of fossil penguins from the Eocene La Meseta Formation on Seymour Island (Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula).

On the heritability of geographic range sizes [PDF]
, 2003 Within taxonomic groups, most species are restricted in their geographic range sizes, with only a few being widespread. The possibility that species-level selection on range sizes contributes to the characteristic form of such speciesrange size ...

Responses of king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus adults and chicks to two food-related odours [PDF]
, 2016 Increasing evidence suggests that penguins are sensitive to dimethyl sulphide (DMS), a scented airborne compound that a variety of marine animals use to find productive areas of the ocean where prey is likely to be found.

The fossilized birth-death model for the analysis of stratigraphic range data under different speciation concepts [PDF]
, 2018 A birth-death-sampling model gives rise to phylogenetic trees with samples from the past and the present. Interpreting "birth" as branching speciation, "death" as extinction, and "sampling" as fossil preservation and recovery, this model -- also referred
