Avian Malaria in Penguins: Diagnostics and Future Direction in the Context of Climate Change

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Avian malaria is caused by infection with haemoprotozoa of the genus Plasmodium. Infection is endemic in large parts of the world and is typically subclinical in birds that are native to these regions.

Aerogel Fiber: A One‐Dimensional Programmable Porous Matter for Next Thermal Management Materials

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Aerogel fibers are redefined as one‐dimensional programmable porous matter, where thermal transport is governed by multiscale pathway engineering. By reconstructing and decoupling transport pathways from molecular to textile scales, these systems integrate insulation, radiative cooling, and adaptive thermal regulation.

Corticosterone and Mitochondrial Efficiency Are Associated With Changes in DNA Oxidative Damage During an Acute Stress Response in Leach's Storm‐Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).

Retreating Shorelines as an Emerging Threat to Adélie Penguins on Inexpressible Island

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Long-term observation of penguin abundance and distribution may warn of changes in the Antarctic marine ecosystem and provide support for penguin conservation. We conducted an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) survey of the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae)

Holocene vegetation dynamics of Grande Terre (Kerguelen Islands) inferred from sedimentary ancient DNA

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.

Regional Differences in the Diets of Adélie and Emperor Penguins in the Ross Sea, Antarctica

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
To identify the dietary composition and characteristics of both Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) and Emperor (Aptenodytes forsteri) penguins at four breeding sites, we performed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope analysis of down samples taken ...

Wear‐Activated Surface Engineering of Thermoplastic Polyurethane/Graphene Nanoplatelet Nanocomposites for Ice Friction Control

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Wear‐activated surface engineering of TPU/GNP nanocomposites through improved filler dispersion and interfacial anchoring of functionalized graphene nanoplatelets, leading to finer post‐abrasion textures and enhanced ice traction. ABSTRACT Graphene‐reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites offer a promising route for developing ...
