The Importance of Olfaction for Mixed Paternity in Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Olfaction can help individuals finding genetically compatible mates in many animals, while high levels of mixed paternity may reflect a reduced ability to evaluate a mate's profile against their own before mating. We tested this hypothesis by matching estimates of olfactory ability with mixed paternity for a broad range of bird species.

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.

Holding a wing horizontal: Roles for muscles of the pectoral girdle other than the main two flight muscles

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.

Outline shape analysis of penguin humeri: a robust approach to taxonomic classification

Polar Research, 2020
Humeri have been useful bones in taxonomic determinations of extinct penguins. In the context of neontological taxonomic studies, however, their potential remains unsatisfactorily explored.

Ontogenetic scaling patterns and functional anatomy of the pelvic limb musculature in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) [PDF]

, 2014
Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) are exclusively terrestrial, bipedal and cursorial ratites with some similar biomechanical characteristics to humans. Their growth rates are impressive, as their body mass increases eighty-fold from hatching to adulthood ...

Unruffling the global feather trade: a comparative analysis of CITES and LEMIS records of feathers and bird skins

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, bird feathers (class: Aves) were harvested from wild populations and sold globally in enormous quantities to meet the rising demand of the fashion industry. Although many laws now prevent similar widescale harvest, there is a paucity of studies on the trade that has continued to occur since the 20th century.

Main pathways in the evolution of the Paleogene Antarctic Sphenisciformes

Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2013
Abstract The Seymour Island fossil penguins from the Cross Valley and La Meseta Formations, Seymour Island (James Ross Basin; late Paleocene, and Eocene/?early Oligocene respectively) constitute the most complete stratigraphic records of the group known in the world. In addition to the geographic and stratigraphic thoroughness of the collected fossil
