At the root of the early penguin neck: a study of the only two cervicodorsal spines recovered from the Eocene of Antarctica [PDF]
Polar Research, 2014 The spinal column of early Antarctic penguins is poorly known, mainly due to the scarcity of articulated vertebrae in the fossil record. One of the most interesting segments of this part of the skeleton is the transitional series located at the root of ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction and Aim Spatiotemporal and taxonomic sampling bias in biodiversity occurrence data poses critical challenges for robust ecological inference, species distribution models (SDMs), and conservation planning. Despite the exponential growth in global biodiversity records over recent decades, these biases persist.

, 2018 We describe a partial skeleton of a new stem group representative of the Sphenisciformes from the mid-Paleocene Waipara Greensand in New Zealand, which represents the best-preserved and most complete Paleocene penguin found so far.

Ontogenetic variations of the head of Aptenodytes forsteri (Aves, Sphenisciformes): muscular and skull morphology [PDF]
Polar Biology, 2017 The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the largest extant penguin among living species breeding in winter, at Antarctic high latitudes. Despite several studies made on this species, musculature and skeletal anatomy are barely known, especially in non-adult specimens.

Sphenisciformes, Gaviiformes, Podicipediformes, Procellariiformes, and Pelecaniformes
, 2018 Penguins are flightless seabirds with unique anatomy. Although susceptible to a wide range of diseases, aspergillosis and avian malaria dominate captive mortalities, whereas starvation impacts free-ranging colonies. Gastrointestinal foreign bodies, pododermatitis, drug and heavy metal toxicities are relevant in captivity; oil and algal biotoxicities in
