Seasonal variation in Aspergillus abundance in captive penguin burrow sands and its implication for aspergillosis risk in Japan [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceBackgroundAspergillosis is a major fungal disease in penguins. However, seasonal variation of Aspergillus spp. in burrow sands and its association with meteorological factors remain poorly characterized, particularly under Japan’s climatic conditions ...

Antibody reactivity to Afmp1p antigen in penguins with probable and confirmed aspergillosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary SciencePenguins under managed care are widely considered to have high susceptibility to infection by Aspergillus spp. Antemortem laboratory diagnostic options vary in sensitivity and specificity, and antibody detection has been problematic in penguin species ...

Is Penguin Circovirus Circulating Only in the Antarctic Circle? Lack of Viral Detection in Namibia
Animals, 2023 The known host range of circoviruses is continuously expanding because of more intensive diagnostic activities and advanced sequencing tools. Recently, a new circovirus (penguin circovirus (PenCV)) was identified in the guano and cloacal samples ...

Body site microbiota of Magellanic and king penguins inhabiting the Strait of Magellan follow species-specific patterns [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Animal hosts live in continuous interaction with bacterial partners, yet we still lack a clear understanding of the ecological drivers of animal-associated bacteria, particularly in seabirds. Here, we investigated the effect of body site in the structure

Food falls in the deep northwestern Weddell Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 When pelagic organisms die and fall onto the deep-sea floor they create food falls, i.e., parcels of organic enrichment that subsidize deep benthic scavenging communities. The diversity and quantities of food falls remain unstudied for many ocean regions

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Quantifying prey characteristics is important for understanding the foraging behaviour of predators, which ultimately influence the structure and function of entire ecosystems. However, information available on prey is often at magnitudes which cannot be

Behaviourally mediated predation avoidance in penguin prey: in situ evidence from animal-borne camera loggers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Predator dietary studies often assume that diet is reflective of the diversity and relative abundance of their prey. This interpretation ignores species-specific behavioural adaptations in prey that could influence prey capture.
