Postmortem findings in Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) caught in a drift gillnet
BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Penguin interaction with gillnets has been extensively reported in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and is considered a major conservation threat. Among penguin species, Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) are currently considered of

First record of feather-loss disorder in Antarctic penguins [PDF]
, 2014 Little is known about diseases affecting Antarctic wildlife (Kerry & Riddle 2009). Understanding the patterns, causes and effects of disease in these populations is crucial as many of these species are already threatened by rapid environmental changes ...

Antennae on transmitters on free-living marine animals: Balancing budgets on the high wire [PDF]
, 2004 The effect of externally mounted antennae on the energetics of penguins was studied by mounting various antennae on a transducer fixed to a model Magellanic penguin Spheniscus magellanicus to determine drag, run at speeds of up to 2 m s–1 in a swim canal.

Genetically diverse herpesviruses in South American Atlantic coast seabirds.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Different herpesviruses have been associated with respiratory and enteric disease and mortality among seabirds and waterfowl. In 2011, a respiratory disease outbreak affected 58.3% (98/168) of the Magellanic penguins undergoing rehabilitation due to an ...
