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

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

Outbreak of avian malaria associated to multiple species of Plasmodium in magellanic penguins undergoing rehabilitation in southern Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Avian malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by Plasmodium spp. Avian plasmodia are recognized conservation-threatening pathogens due to their potential to cause severe epizootics when introduced to bird populations with which they did not co-evolve.

Diversity, 2021 There are two pygoscelid penguins, the Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua Forster, 1781) and Adélie (P. adeliae Hombron and Jacquinot, 1841) penguins, breeding sympatrically on Ardley Island, Fildes Peninsula region, South Shetlands, Antarctica.

Epidemiology and molecular phylogeny of Babesia sp. in Little Penguins Eudyptula minor in Australia
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 Blood parasites are potential threats to the health of penguins and to their conservation and management. Little penguins Eudyptula minor are native to Australia and New Zealand, and are susceptible to piroplasmids (Babesia), hemosporidians (Haemoproteus,

Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background The majority of penguins (Sphenisciformes) have evolved in areas with weak or absent transmission of haemosporidian parasites and are usually naïve to avian haemosporidian infections.

Responses of king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus adults and chicks to two food-related odours [PDF]
, 2016 Increasing evidence suggests that penguins are sensitive to dimethyl sulphide (DMS), a scented airborne compound that a variety of marine animals use to find productive areas of the ocean where prey is likely to be found.

Український антарктичний журнал, 2017 The penguin fauna succession is studied from the western part of Graham Land. Due to climatic changes (warming up) the distribution of Gentoo penguins is observed and decreasing of area for Adelie penguins is indicated too.

Fat penguins and imaginary penguins in perturbative QCD [PDF]
, 2000 We evaluate $B\to K\pi$ decay amplitudes in perturbative QCD picture. It is found that penguin contributions are dynamically enhanced by nearly 50% compared to those assumed in the factorization approximation.
