New Miocene Fossils and the History of Penguins in Australia.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Australia has a fossil record of penguins reaching back to the Eocene, yet today is inhabited by just one breeding species, the little penguin Eudyptula minor.

Oceanic thermal structure mediates dive sequences in a foraging seabird
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Changes in marine ecosystems are easier to detect in upper‐level predators, like seabirds, which integrate trophic interactions throughout the food web.

The influence of locomotion on air-sac pressures in little penguins [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2001 SUMMARYAir-sac pressures have been reported to oscillate with wing beat in flying magpies and with foot paddling in diving ducks. We sought to determine the impact on air-sac pressure of wing beats during swimming and of the step cycle during walking in little penguins (Eudyptula minor).

Fine-scale dietary changes between the breeding and non-breeding diet of a resident seabird [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Unlike migratory seabirds with wide foraging ranges, resident seabirds forage in a relatively small range year-round and are thus particularly vulnerable to local shifts in prey availability.

OikosSeabird health is linked to their marine and terrestrial environments, but health–environment relationships are rarely described. Parasites are common among seabird colonies, however reductions to seabird health may occur if the delicate parasite–host ...

Metals and metalloids in Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) prey, blood and faeces.
Environmental Pollution, 2017 Piscivorous species like the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) are particularly at risk of being negatively impacted by pollution due to their heightened exposure through aquatic food chains. Therefore, determining the concentration of heavy metals in the

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In maritime Antarctica, sea animals, such as penguins or seals, provide a large amount of external nitrogen input into tundra soils, which greatly impact nitrogen cycle in tundra ecosystems. Denitrification, which is closely related with the denitrifiers,

Large‐scale assessment of intra‐ and inter‐annual breeding success using a remote camera network
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Changes in the physical environment along the Antarctic Peninsula have been among the most rapid anywhere on the planet. In concert with environmental change, the potential for direct human disturbance resulting from tourism, scientific programs, and ...
