A Citizen Science Trial to Assess Perception of Wild Penguin Welfare
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Wild penguins are facing increased threats to their populations and their welfare as a consequence of human activities. Understanding the perception of animal welfare is essential to identify ethical concerns related to the negative impact of ...

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.

Waddling on the Dark Side: Ambient Light Affects Attendance Behavior of Little Penguins [PDF]
, 2016 Visible light on Earth largely comes from the sun, including light reflected from the moon. Predation risk is strongly determined by light conditions, and some animals are nocturnal to reduce predation.

Changes in diet and trophic position of a top predator 10 years after a mass mortality of a key prey [PDF]
, 2012 After the disappearance of primary prey, seabirds exhibit gradually decreased breeding performance, and eventually the population size drops. Results are presented of an investigation into the diet of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) at Phillip Island ...

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
