Quantifying prey availability using the foraging plasticity of a marine predator, the little penguin
Functional Ecology, 2020 Detecting changes in marine food webs is challenging, but top predators can provide information on lower trophic levels. However, many commonly measured predator responses can be decoupled from prey availability by plasticity in predator foraging effort.

At-Sea Associations in Foraging Little Penguins
PLoS ONE, 2014 Prey distribution, patch size, and the presence of conspecifics are important factors influencing a predator's feeding tactics, including the decision to feed individually or socially. Little is known about group behaviour in seabirds as they spend most of their lives in the marine environment where it is difficult to observe their foraging activities.

Antarctic Record, 1981 The fluctuation of the Adelie penguin population was investigated at the Ongulkalven rookery (69°01'S, 39°26'E) and the Mame-zima rookery (69°01'S, 39°29'E) near Syowa Station (69°00'S, 39°35'E), Antarctica.

Time-lapse imagery of Adélie penguins reveals differential winter strategies and breeding site occupation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Polar seabirds adopt different over-wintering strategies to survive and build condition during the critical winter period. Penguin species either reside at the colony during the winter months or migrate long distances. Tracking studies and survey methods

Environment International, 2022 Phosphorus (P) chemistry and its dynamic cycling are essential for understanding aquatic primary productivity and ecosystem structure. However, there is a lack of knowledge on P chemistry in pristine aquatic ecosystems, such as in Antarctica.

Micromelia in Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) [PDF]
Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2006 Two cases of unilateral micromelia are described in wild juvenile little penguins (Eudyptula minor). The first bird was found at San Remo, Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. The bird's left flipper was reduced in length, and radiography demonstrated severe shortening and dysplasia of the humerus.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Marine predators recovering from historic, commercial, over-harvesting can create conservation challenges when they prey on vulnerable species. Pinniped predation of seabirds presents one such challenge and identifying the source colonies experiencing ...
