The emperor penguin - Vulnerable to projected rates of warming and sea ice loss

Biological Conservation, 2020
We argue the need to improve climate change forecasting for ecology, and importantly, how to relate long-term projections to conservation. As an example, we discuss the need for effective management of one species, the emperor penguin, Aptenodytes ...

Occurrence and Quantification of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in the Gastrointestinal Microbiome of Two Wild Seabird Species With Contrasting Behaviors

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) are environmental pollutants and anthropization indicators. We evaluated human interference in the marine ecosystem through the ocurrence and quantification (real-time PCRs) of 21 plasmid-mediated ARGs in enema ...

A global population assessment of the Chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica)

Scientific Reports, 2020
Using satellite imagery, drone imagery, and ground counts, we have assembled the first comprehensive global population assessment of Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) at 3.42 (95th-percentile CI: [2.98, 4.00]) million breeding pairs across 375 ...

Blood transcriptome resources of chinstrap () and gentoo () penguins from the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2019
The chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarcticus) and gentoo (P. papua) penguins are distributed throughout Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands. In this study, high-quality de novo assemblies of blood transcriptomes from these penguins were generated using the

Genome-wide analyses reveal drivers of penguin diversification

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Penguins have long been of interest to scientists and the general public, but their evolutionary history remains unresolved. Using genomes, we investigated the drivers of penguin diversification.

Fat chance? Endangered penguin rehabilitation has mixed conservation outcomes

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Rehabilitation of sick or injured wildlife supports wild populations of threatened species by improving the health of individuals. Post‐release assessment of the efficacy of rehabilitation relies on re‐sighting and identification of both rehabilitated ...

Penguin pollution in $\beta$ and $\beta_s$ [PDF]

, 2017
The mixing-induced CP asymmetries in $B_d \to J/\psi K_S$ and $B_s \to J/\psi \phi$ are essential to detect or constrain new physics in the $B_d\! - \overline{\!B}{}_d$ and $B_s\! - \overline{\!B}{}_s$ mixing amplitudes, respectively.

The conservation status and population decline of the African penguin deconstructed in space and time

bioRxiv, 2020
African Penguin Spheniscus demersus numbers have declined steadily over three generations, resulting in a loss of nearly 60% since of 1989. The breeding population reached an historic low of ~20,850 pairs in 2019.
