Lip-reading in remote subjects: An attempt to quantify and separate ingestion, breathing and vocalisation in free-living animals [PDF]
A new mandibular sensor is presented here based on the use of a Hall sensor, attached to one mandible, opposite a magnet, attached to the other mandible. Changes in sensor voltage, proportional to magnetic field strength, and thus inter-mandibular angle,

Population regulation in Magellanic penguins: what determines changes in colony size? [PDF]
Seabirds are often studied at individual colonies, but the confounding effects of emigration and mortality processes in open populations may lead to inappropriate conclusions on the mechanisms underlying population changes. Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus

Sexual and geographic dimorphism in northern rockhopper penguins breeding in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
The Endangered northern rockhopper penguin Eudyptes moseleyi, like all penguins, is monomorphic, making sex determination of individuals in the field challenging.

Morphology and Morphometry of the Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) Trachea
Objective: This work aimed to describe the trachea of the Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) through descriptive and morphometric approaches. Methods: ten adult male Spheniscus magellanicus were used, which were collected, fixed, and kept immersed in an aqueous solution of 10% formaldehyde.

Antennae on transmitters on free-living marine animals: Balancing budgets on the high wire [PDF]
The effect of externally mounted antennae on the energetics of penguins was studied by mounting various antennae on a transducer fixed to a model Magellanic penguin Spheniscus magellanicus to determine drag, run at speeds of up to 2 m s–1 in a swim canal.

Tangled and drowned: a global review of penguin bycatch in fisheries
Penguins are the most threatened group of seabirds after albatrosses. Although penguins are regularly captured in fishing gear, the threat to penguins as a group has not yet been assessed.
