Economical genotyping of little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor) clades from feather-based DNA [PDF]

, 2013
Determination of clade membership is a crucial requirement for many research questions addressing phylogeography, population structure, mating patterns, speciation, and hybridisation.

Enhancing lepton flavour violation in the supersymmetric inverse seesaw beyond the dipole contribution [PDF]

, 2012
In minimal supersymmetric models the $Z$-penguin usually provides sub-dominant contributions to charged lepton flavour violating observables. In this study, we consider the supersymmetric inverse seesaw in which the non-minimal particle content allows ...

Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

Stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) combined with conventional dietary approaches reveal plasticity in central-place foraging behaviour of little penguins (Eudyptula minor)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Marine top and meso predators like seabirds are limited by the need to breed on land but forage on limited or patchily distributed resources at sea. Constraints imposed by such central-place foraging behaviour change during breeding or even disappear ...

Balance: a neglected factor when attaching external devices to penguins [PDF]

, 2004
We observed that external attachments on penguins reduced their balance, which may be of as great concern to the individuals as the effect of increased drag. Little penguin Eudyptula minor swimming activity was observed in captivity at the Penguin Parade

Hadronic Effects in Two-Body B decays [PDF]

, 1999
In these lectures I discuss the impact of soft hadronic physics on predictions for B decays. Unfortunately our tools for calculating these effects are limited; even after the use of the best available tools the resulting theoretical uncertainties are ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Building High Involvement Work Systems in the Digital Era: Employee Experience‐Oriented Digital HRM and Employee Involvement

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the increasing application of digital technology in management practices, its implications for employee involvement and high involvement work systems (HIWSs) remain largely unexplored. Based on an in‐depth qualitative case study of Tencent—one of China's largest information technology companies—this article explores whether and in what

Effects of sea animal colonization on the coupling between dynamics and activity of soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea in maritime Antarctica [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2019
The colonization by a large number of sea animals, including penguins and seals, plays an important role in the nitrogen cycle of the tundra ecosystem in coastal Antarctica. However, little is known about the effects of sea animal colonization on ammonia-

Corticosterone and Mitochondrial Efficiency Are Associated With Changes in DNA Oxidative Damage During an Acute Stress Response in Leach's Storm‐Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).
