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.

Post-fledging dispersal of king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) from two breeding sites in the South Atlantic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Most studies concerning the foraging ecology of marine vertebrates are limited to breeding adults, although other life history stages might comprise half the total population.

Benefits of Group Foraging Depend on Prey Type in a Small Marine Predator, the Little Penguin.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Group foraging provides predators with advantages in over-powering prey larger than themselves or in aggregating small prey for efficient exploitation. For group-living predatory species, cooperative hunting strategies provide inclusive fitness benefits.

Effects of individual pre-fledging traits and environmental conditions on return patterns in juvenile king penguins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Despite the importance of early life stages in individuals' life history and population dynamics, very few studies have focused on the constraints to which these juvenile traits are subjected.

The Effect of Regulating Zoo Visitor-Penguin Interactions on Zoo Visitor Attitudes
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Understanding visitor attitudes toward zoo animals can inform the way zoos manage visitor-animal interactions by identifying the factors that may influence visitors and the way visitors interact with animals.

Genetic factors for short life span associated with evolution of the loss of flight ability
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Acquisition or loss of flying ability is evolutionarily linked with maximum life span (MLS) in mammals and birds. Although ecological factors, such as extrinsic mortality, may lead to either shortened or extended life spans through natural selection, MLS

Can thermoclines be a cue to prey distribution for marine top predators? A case study with little penguins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The use of top predators as bio-platforms is a modern approach to understanding how physical changes in the environment may influence their foraging success.
