Tracing Seal Predation Back to the Source Colony of Their Penguin Prey: A Trace Element and Stable Isotope Analysis

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 ...

Interspecific variations in the gastrointestinal microbiota in penguins [PDF]

, 2013
Despite the enormous amount of data available on the importance of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota in vertebrate (especially mammals), information on the GI microbiota of seabirds remains incomplete.

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.

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.

DNA-based faecal dietary analysis: A comparison of qPCR and high throughput sequencing approaches [PDF]

, 2011
The genetic analysis of faecal material represents a relatively non-invasive way to study animal diet and has been widely adopted in ecological research.

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.

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.

Effect of the Space-like Penguin Diagrams on CP Asymmetries in Exclusive B Decays

, 1995
The space-like penguin contributions were ignored on little ground in many previous studies of nonleptonic B decays and CP violation. Taking the penguin-dominated channels $B^{-} _{u}\rightarrow \bar{K}^{0}\pi$ and $B^{-}_{u}\rightarrow K^{0} K^{-}$ for ...

Rare decays B\to M\nu\bar{\nu} in the TC2 model and the LHT model [PDF]

, 2010
In the framework of the topcolor-assisted technicolor ($TC2$) model and the littlest Higgs model with $T$-parity ($LHT$ model), we consider the rare B decays $B\to M\nu\bar{\nu}$ with $M=\pi,K,\rho,$ or $K^{\ast}$.
