Effects of Regulating Visitor Viewing Proximity and the Intensity of Visitor Behaviour on Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) Behaviour and Welfare [PDF]
Animals, 2019 We examined the effects of regulating the viewing proximity of visitors and the intensity of visitor behaviour on behaviours indicative of fear and stress physiology of 15 zoo-housed little penguins (Eudyptula minor).

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of an Australian little penguin (Eudyptula minor novaehollandia, J.R. Forster, 1781) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 In this paper, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of an Australian little penguin (Eudyptula minor novaehollandia). The mitogenome sequence has been found to be circular, and 17,608 bp in length. Similar to other Spheniscidae species, the genome

Benefits of Group Foraging Depend on Prey Type in a Small Marine Predator, the Little Penguin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Group foraging provides predators with advantages in over-powering prey larger than themselves or in aggregating small prey for efficient exploitation. For group-living predatory species, cooperative hunting strategies provide inclusive fitness benefits.

Extending the Functionality of Behavioural Change-Point Analysis with k-Means Clustering: A Case Study with the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We present a simple framework for classifying mutually exclusive behavioural states within the geospatial lifelines of animals. This method involves use of three sequentially applied statistical procedures: (1) behavioural change point analysis to ...

The Ultrastructure of the Nictitating Membrane of the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor, Aves) [PDF]
Integr Org Biol, 2021 Synopsis The ultrastructure of the nictitating membrane in the little penguin Eudyptula minor was studied using both scanning and transmission electron microscopy to improve our understanding of the function of ocular adnexa in diving birds.

Complicating the Story of Popular Science: John Maynard Smith’s “Little Penguin” on The Theory of Evolution [PDF]
J Hist Biol, 2019 Popular science writing has received increasing interest, especially in its relation to professional science. I extend the current scholarly focus from the nineteenth to the twentieth century by providing a microhistory of the early popular writings of ...

Both natural selection and isolation by distance explain phenotypic divergence in bill size and body mass between South Australian little penguin colonies [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 Morphological variation between populations of the same species can arise as a response to genetic variation, local environmental conditions, or a combination of both.

Nonequilibrium Conditions Explain Spatial Variability in Genetic Structuring of Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) [PDF]
J Hered, 2015 Factors responsible for spatial structuring of population genetic variation are varied, and in many instances there may be no obvious explanations for genetic structuring observed, or those invoked may reflect spurious correlations.

Spatial Variation in Body Condition of a Coastal Sentinel, the Little Penguin, Reflects Marine and Terrestrial Factors [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSeabirds are widely considered sentinels of their coastal ecosystems. However, biological associations between specific marine and terrestrial factors and seabird health are less well understood.
