Quantity over quality? Prey-field characteristics influence the foraging decisions of little penguins (Eudyptula minor)

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Quantifying prey characteristics is important for understanding the foraging behaviour of predators, which ultimately influence the structure and function of entire ecosystems. However, information available on prey is often at magnitudes which cannot be

Survey of haemoprotozoa and Toxoplasma gondii in little penguins in Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Parasitism poses potential health risks to penguin populations, yet the prevalence of protozoan parasites in wild free-living populations remains poorly understood.

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 ...

Herpesvirus Encephalitis in a Little Blue Penguin ( Eudyptula minor ) [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2020
An 11-day-old little blue penguin ( Eudyptula minor) died unexpectedly. Prior to hatching, the egg experienced trauma and resultant defects were repaired. The chick hatched without complication and was clinically normal prior to death. Necropsy revealed congested lungs.

Searching for the true diet of marine predators: incorporating Bayesian priors into stable isotope mixing models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Reconstructing the diet of top marine predators is of great significance in several key areas of applied ecology, requiring accurate estimation of their true diet.

Variability in prey field structure drives inter-annual differences in prey encounter by a marine predator, the little penguin

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Understanding how marine predators encounter prey across patchy landscapes remains challenging due to difficulties in measuring the three-dimensional structure of pelagic prey fields at scales relevant to animal movement.

Making the most of the old age: Autumn breeding as an extra reproductive investment in older seabirds

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting differing reproductive strategies among populations are central to understanding population and evolutionary ecology.
