Conservation of migratory Magellanic penguins requires marine zoning
Abstract Conservation of migratory species requires an understanding of their migration path and pattern. We used band returns and satellite tracking to characterize the seasonal migration of Magellanic penguins breeding in southern Argentina, with the purpose of identifying an effective conservation approach for this species. Band returns show these

Acoustic cues to development of African Penguins (Spheniscus demersus) begging calls
Avian begging calls mediate parent–offspring conflict and direct parental care to genetically related progeny. We found that the fundamental frequency of begging calls of African Penguins Spheniscus demersus decreases as the penguins age and gain mass, before reaching a lower plateau when the chick reaches about 1 kg.

Climate Change Impacts Pair‐Bond Dynamics in a Long‐Lived Monogamous Species
Climate change can influence populations by affecting mating processes. We examined the impact of climate on widowhood and divorce in a lmonogamous species, and the subsequent effects on individual vital rates and life‐history outcomes over 54 years in a population of snow petrel (Pagodroma nivea) .

During the austral winter the appearance of the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) is common on the southern coast of Brazil. The oil pollution constitutes a major cause of death of these birds.

Beyond rings on birds for determination of movements: Wither the archival tag? [PDF]
Two methods for determining the movement of birds are discussed; Global Location Sensing (determination of position by consideration of day length and local timing of mid-day) and dead reckoning (calculation of routes by vectors).

Animal movement and population connectivity are key areas of uncertainty in efforts to understand and predict the spread of infectious disease. The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in South America poses a significant threat to globally significant populations of colonial breeding marine predators in the South Atlantic.

In the last few years, an increasing number of debilitated Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) has been rescued and taken to rehabilitation centers on Brazil’s southern coast to be clinically treated and evaluated for re-introduction. This work
