Defining moults in migratory birds: a sequence‐based approach
Journal of Avian Biology, 2022 Two broad nomenclatures have emerged to describe moult strategies in birds, the ‘life‐cycle' system which describes moults relative to present‐day breeding and other life‐history events, and the Humphrey–Parkes (H–P) system which reflects the evolution ...

Moult habitat, pre- and post-moult diet and post-moult travel of Ross Sea emperor penguins [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2004 During a series of transect legs through the pack ice of the eastern Ross Sea, aboard the RV icebreaker 'Nathaniel B. Palmer', we: (1) assessed the habitat chosen for moulting by emperor penguins, Aptenodytes forsteri, (2) determined their pre- and post-moult diets, (3) measured the pre- and post-moult body mass of the birds, and (4) tracked their post-

Influence of fasting during moult on the faecal microbiota of penguins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many seabirds including penguins are adapted to long periods of fasting, particularly during parts of the reproductive cycle and during moult. However, the influence of fasting on the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota has not been investigated in seabirds.

Do seaducks minimise the flightless period? Inter- and intra-specific comparisons of remigial moult. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Remigial moult is one of the crucial events in the annual life cycle of waterfowl as it is energetically costly, lasts several weeks, and is a period of high vulnerability due to flightlessness. In waterfowl, remigial moult can be considered as an energy-

Hovering hummingbird wing aerodynamics during the annual cycle. II. Implications of wing feather moult [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Birds usually moult their feathers in a particular sequence which may incur aerodynamic, physiological and behavioural implications. Among birds, hummingbirds are unique species in their sustained hovering flight.

Moult-breeding trade-offs in the Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) could have management applications
Avian ResearchMoult is an essential event in the annual cycle of birds. Moult patterns and strategies of birds are crucial for understanding their life-history trade-offs and adaptations to the environment.

Variation in wing and tail moult intensity in white‐chinned petrels
Journal of Avian BiologyThe cost of moult is substantial, and the timing and intensity of flight feather moult can influence survival and fitness, especially in large, long‐winged species such as many seabirds. We explore variation in wing and tail moult in > 2400 white‐chinned

Frontiers in Bird ScienceKnowledge about the timing of moult and how it fits into the annual cycle, along with breeding and, in some cases migration, is an important component of understanding the life history of birds.

Oxygen and ROS Delivery for Infected Wound Healing and Future Prospects
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Bacterial infection is a major driver of delayed wound healing and postsurgical readmissions; with rising antibiotic resistance, solid peroxide–releasing biomaterials offer sustained delivery of ROS/O2 for antimicrobial control and microenvironmental modulation.
