GEOCHEMICAL SIGNALS IN PALEOGENE PENGUINS FROM SEYMOUR ISLAND (ISLA MARAMBIO), ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2023 Trace elements, particularly rare earth elements (REE), are widely used as proxies to reconstruct paleoenvironmental and taphonomic conditions. We traced these elements in fossil penguin bones collected along the Paleogene sequence exposed in Seymour ...

Behavioural evolution in penguins does not reflect phylogeny [PDF]
, 2008 Over the past two decades, behavioural biologists and ecologists have made effective use of the comparative method, but have often stopped short of adopting an explicitly phylogenetic approach. We examined 68 behaviour and life history (BLH) traits of 15

Micro‐CT guided illustration of the head anatomy of penguins (Aves: Sphenisciformes: Spheniscidae)
Journal of Morphology, 2022 Abstract The illustration is an important tool to aid in the description and understanding of anatomy, and penguins (Aves: Sphenisciformes: Spheniscidae) are an important clade in environmental monitoring, paleontology, and other research fields. Traditionally, anatomic illustration has been informed by dissection.
