Carry-over body mass effect from winter to breeding in a resident seabird, the little penguin
Using body mass and breeding data of individual penguins collected continuously over 7 years (2002-2008), we examined carry-over effects of winter body mass on timing of laying and breeding success in a resident seabird, the little penguin (Eudyptula minor). The austral winter month of July consistently had the lowest rate of colony attendance, which confirmed our expectation that penguins work...
متن کاملEndocrine correlates of parental care in an Antarctic winter breeding seabird, the emperor penguin, Aptenodytes forsteri.
Plasma levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin associated with parental behavior were measured in the Antarctic winter breeding emperor penguin, Aptenodytes forsteri. Males exclusively incubate the egg while females exclusively brood the nonhomeothermic young; both sexes alternate in rearing the homeothermic young. Birds were sampled on arrival from the sea through egg laying, incubati...
متن کاملPenguin Mediated
We report on preliminary results of searches for penguin mediated B decays based on 20.7 fb −1 of data collected at the Υ (4S) peak with the BABAR detector at PEP-II. The following branching fractions have been measured: B(B + → φK +) = (7.7 −5.6 ± 1.7) × 10 −6 , where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. For several other modes we report upper limits on their branching fra...
متن کاملLinking extreme interannual changes in prey availability to foraging behaviour and breeding investment in a marine predator, the macaroni penguin
Understanding the mechanisms that link prey availability to predator behaviour and population change is central to projecting how a species may respond to future environmental pressures. We documented the behavioural responses and breeding investment of macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus across five breeding seasons where local prey density changed by five-fold; from very low to highly abu...
متن کاملAntiseptic Surgery in Edinburgh
DrrniNG the past winter session I have enjoyed the privilege of closely watching Professor Lister's practice in the surgical wards of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Having attempted ?with, very imperfect success I am bound to confess?to put in practice Mr. Lister's system of Antiseptic Surgery while officiating as Second Surgeon in the Medical College Hospital, I availed myself, with peculiar i...
