The diving behaviour of little penguins in Western Australia predisposes them to risk of injury by watercraft

, 2020
The most western little penguin colony globally, and the most northern in Western Australia (WA) is found on Penguin Island, WA. The penguins use coastal bays that are also used extensively by recreational watercraft.

Gastrointestinal helminths of little blue penguins, Eudyptula novaehollandiae (Stephens), from Otago, New Zealand.

Parasitology international, 2020
Data regarding helminth communities can provide insights into health, feeding interactions, behaviour and evolution of their host organisms. Penguins (Spheniscidae) are important components of marine food webs and tracking their helminth communities can ...

Survival rates of oil-rehabilitated and non-rehabilitated little penguins after the C/V Rena oil spill, New Zealand.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019
We monitored the post-release survival of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) rehabilitated after the 2011 C/V Rena oil spill in New Zealand to assess the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process.

STANDING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN NONANESTHETIZED LITTLE PENGUINS (EUDYPTULA MINOR) TO ASSESS RESPIRATORY SYSTEM ANATOMY AND MONITOR DISEASE.

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine, 2019
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans were performed in clinically healthy, nonanesthetized, standing little penguins (Eudyptula minor) to determine reference ranges for air-sac and lung volumes, as well as lung density.

Tandem host‐parasite dispersal inferred from similarities in phylogeographical patterns among Little Penguins and their ‘terrestrial’ ectoparasites

Journal of Biogeography, 2019
Organisms with poor intrinsic dispersal capacity, such as parasites, often rely entirely on transport with host species that have a greater dispersal capacity.

DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF MYCOBACTERIOSIS IN A COLONY OF LITTLE PENGUINS (EUDYPTULA MINOR).

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine, 2019
A group of zoo-housed little penguins (Eudyptula minor) was diagnosed with mycobacteriosis. While undergoing multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging for an unrelated research project, pulmonary lesions were detected in multiple individuals.

Using radio frequency identification for behavioral monitoring in little blue penguins

Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 2019
A common goal of captive animal institutions is to create environments that allow for the most naturalistic behavior from their animals. Behavioral data is often used as a measure of how an animal is thriving in its current environment.

Post-release breeding success of oil-rehabilitated and non-rehabilitated little blue penguins, Eudyptula minor, following the M/V Rena oil spill, New Zealand.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019
During the 2011 M/V Rena oil spill in Tauranga, New Zealand, 383 little blue penguins (LBP, Eudyptula minor) were oiled, rescued and rehabilitated, with 90.6% surviving to be released back to the wild.
