Drones, 2019 Antarctic marine ecosystems undergo enormous changes, presumably due to climate change and fishery. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have an unprecedented potential for measuring these changes by mapping indicator species such as penguins even in remote ...

Constructing a multiple‐part morphospace using a multiblock method
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Popular current methods for quantifying variation in biological shape are well‐suited to analyses of isolated parts (e.g. the same bone from the skeletons of many individuals).

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2023 Swimming is an important behavior for all penguin species. However, zoo-housed penguins typically do not swim as often as their wild counterparts, which may have consequences for their health and welfare. In an effort to increase the swimming time of the

Morphological adaptations of cervical vertebrae in plunge‐diving sulids
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Foraging strategy frequently drives morphological diversification in birds. The plunge‐diving behavior of certain species makes the functional and ecological trade‐offs of variation in cervical vertebrae an especially intriguing question. This study compares cervical vertebrae across five plunge‐diving species and two non‐plunge‐diving species,

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is widely distributed, yet knowledge of its ocular morphology remains limited. This study described the morphometry and morphology of the eyeball and its accessory glands in six specimens using radiography, morphometry, light and scanning electron microscopy, and 3D scanning.

Animals, 2023 We surveyed the facilities that were members of the Japan Association of Zoos and Aquariums to clarify the incidence of aspergillosis, which is a major cause of death in captive penguins, and to discern effective preventive measures.

Fire‐Safe Polymeric Insulation Foams for Energy‐Efficient and Low‐Carbon Buildings
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This review systematically summarizes recent advances in fire‐safe polymeric insulation foams, emphasizing the balance among flame retardancy, thermal insulation, mechanical reliability, and long‐term durability. By linking material‐level thermophysical properties with building cooling‐energy demand and operational carbon emissions, it establishes a ...

Robben Island penguin pressure model: a decision support tool for an ecosystems approach to fisheries management [PDF]
, 2012 Includes bibliographical references.The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) population in southern Africa has declined from approximately 575 000 adults at the start of the 20th century to 180 000 adults in the early 1990s.

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaThree new sequences of Mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 2 (mtDNA cox-2) from C. pelagicum parasite of Spheniscus magellanicus, the Magelanicus penguin, were determined from Brazilian waters. The sequences presented 99 and 98% of similarity with
