Moult-Induced Changes in Gut Microbiota of African Penguins (Spheniscus demersus) [PDF]

Animals
The gut microbiota of seabirds can undergo shifts during the moulting period due to fasting. Understanding the characteristics of gut microbiota in African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) throughout moulting is meaningful for the conservation and ...

Modeling huddling penguins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
We present a systematic and quantitative model of huddling penguins. In this mathematical model, each individual penguin in the huddle seeks only to reduce its own heat loss.

Antibody reactivity to Afmp1p antigen in penguins with probable and confirmed aspergillosis [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Penguins 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 ...

Charming Penguins Saga [PDF]

, 2002
We briefly recall the main formulae for computing the B -> K pi branching ratios within the "charming penguin" approach, present an updated fit to the data, and explain why we believe that, in general, these fits can hardly be used to extract gamma.

Effects of Crowd Size, Composition, and Noise Level On Pool Use in a Mixed-Species Penguin Colony [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2021
Studies on how visitors affect penguins in human care report a mixture of negative, neutral, and positive impacts on behavior and physiology. Swimming is a highly motivated behavior that may promote positive welfare in penguins.

Influence of fasting during moult on the faecal microbiota of penguins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Many seabirds including penguins are adapted to long periods of fasting, particularly during parts of the reproductive cycle and during moult. However, the influence of fasting on the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota has not been investigated in seabirds.
