An overview of the oldest and most comprehensive avifauna of the early Eocene British London Clay
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Early Eocene birds from the British London Clay have been known for two centuries, but a comprehensive understanding of the avifauna of the London Clay Formation is still in its infancy.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Nature Communications, 2017 AbstractOne of the notable features of penguin evolution is the occurrence of very large species in the early Cenozoic, whose body size greatly exceeded that of the largest extant penguins. Here we describe a new giant species from the late Paleocene of New Zealand that documents the very early evolution of large body size in penguins. Kumimanu biceae,

Polar Record, 2017 ABSTRACTThe early explorer and scientist Otto Nordenskjöld, leader of the Swedish South Polar Expedition of 1901–1903, was the first to collect Antarctic penguin fossils. The site is situated in the northeastern region of Seymour Island and constitutes one of the most important localities in the study of fossilised penguins.
