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-

PHYSIOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS INDUCED BY ECDYSONE AGONIST METHOXYFENOZIDE ON THE COTTON LEAFWORM, SPODOPTERA LITTORALIS (BOISD.) [PDF]
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2009 Newly ecdysed fourth instar larvae of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) were treated with LC50 of ecdysone agonist methoxyfenozide, to provide better insights into physiological symptoms and aspects induced by it as a mimic to the 20 ...

Plasma metabolites reflect seasonally changing metabolic processes in a long-distance migrant shorebird (Calidris canutus) [PDF]
, 2002 Migrant birds have tightly scheduled annual cycles consisting of several distinct life cycle (sub-)stages such as reproduction, migration, moult and overwintering, each of which have specific metabolic requirements (e.g., fattening during migration ...

Does Water Temperature Affect the Timing and Duration of Remigial Moult in Sea Ducks? An Experimental Approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Aquatic birds have high cost of thermoregulation, especially during the moulting period, yet the effect of water temperature on the moulting strategy of aquatic birds has rarely been studied.
