African Penguin Welcome and Introduction I am very pleased to welcome you to the 8th International Penguin Conference in in my home town of Bristol; this is the first time that the penguin conference has been held in Europe and only the second time in the Northern hemisphere. The International Penguin Conferences are going from strength to strength; this, the eighth meeting will see delegates from around 30 countries and who between them have worked on all seven continents coming together. We have a very full and lively programme including more than 60 oral presentations and over 100 posters as well as specialist workshops and a programme of public and social events. I would like to say a very big thank you to all our sponsors whose generous support has helped to provide 20 travel bursaries as well as supporting the public and social events. I extend a warm welcome to all, in particular to those who are visiting the UK, or Bristol for the first time. I trust that you will find the time to explore the city of Bristol as well as some of the surrounding parts of the UK and that you enjoy both the social and scientific aspect of the meeting.

So please take a few minutes to read the safety notes below. Building Evacuation The main conference venue is the School of Chemistry; as you can imagine in the unlikely event of a accident occurring in the laboratories we will have to evacuate the building promptly. If the alarm sounds please follow the directions of the fire marshals and move quickly to the Assembly points which are safe distance from the building. From the main foyer (where the posters are located) you should exit on to the Patio and thence to the Upper Patio and University Walk. From the Lecture theatre the exit is via the front of the theatre i.e. the Lecturer's end, and out via the X-Ray Suite to the East side pre-Assembly point. You will be directed by a fire marshal from eh pre-Assembly point either to re-enter the building if it safe to do so, or to the main assembly point on the Upper Patio and University Walk. Please note that on Tuesday morning at about 08:30 the fire alarms will be tested – please do not evacuate at that time unless the alarm sounds for longer than 30 seconds. Other Safety Notes Please do not enter any non-public areas of the Chemistry building – you should only use the lecture theatres and the two foyer areas and not enter any other parts of the building. To avoid any trips or falls, please try to avoid spillages of food or drink in the building. Should any spills occur please report them immediately either to the Conference Desk or to the Porters so they can be cleaned up quickly.

  • African Penguin Colony
    An Innovative and Inspiring Space for a Growing African Penguin Colony enguins are among the most iconic and beloved avian groups, and the PCincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is embarking on an opportunity to further their engagement in care and conservation of African Penguins. This species in particular is endangered in their native range and requires the collective focus of zoos, aquariums, and other conservation organizations to ensure its survival into the future. The Cincinnati Zoo is seeking to construct a new habitat space for African Penguins that will allow for our colony to grow from 11 birds to 30+, which will contribute immensely to ex-situ conservation efforts, not to mention inspiring our visitors to care more about the species’ plight. A brand new habitat offers the opportunity to dream and innovate and truly bring the best experience to its animal residents. The new African Penguin habitat at the Cincinnati Zoo will be three times larger than the current space and offer a variety of new habitat feature to maximize their welfare, including: a dynamic pool area to encourage natural swimming behavior and exercise, natural substrates to dig into and to promote improved foot health, outdoor heating and cooling so that penguins can stay outside longer in the year, and a dramatically larger indoor bedroom area with a pool and UV-transmitting skylights to ensure health and comfort during our Cincinnati winter. African Penguin reproduction will be a key goal of this new habitat, and the new habitat and bedroom area will offer the opportunity to expand our nesting sites and maximize successful rearing of chicks.

[email protected] La hipótesis de Gaia propone que a partir de unas condiciones iniciales que hicieron posible el inicio de la vida en el planeta, fue la propia vida la que las modificó. Sin embargo, desde el inicio del Antropoceno la humanidad tiene un papel protagónico en dichas modificaciones, e.g. el aumento del CO2 en la atmósfera. Se estima que para fines de este siglo, se alcanzarían concentraciones de CO2 que el planeta no registró en los últimos 30 Ma. La información para comprender como funcionarían los sistemas terrestres con estos niveles de CO2 está contenida en los registros de períodos cálidos y en las grandes transiciones climáticas del pasado geológico.

  • Skull Shape Analysis and Diet of South American Fossil Penguins (Sphenisciformes) Claudia Patricia Tambussi & Carolina Acosta Hospitaleche
    Skull shape analysis and diet of South American fossil penguins (Sphenisciformes) Claudia Patricia Tambussi & Carolina Acosta Hospitaleche CONICET & Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque s/n, 1900 La Plata, Argentina [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT – Form and function of the skull of Recent and fossil genera of available Spheniscidae are analysed in order to infer possible dietary behaviors for extinct penguins. Skull shapes were compared using the Resistant-Fit Theta-Rho- Analysis (RFTRA) Procrustean method. Due to the availability and quality of the material, this study was based on six living species belonging to five genera (Spheniscus, Eudyptula, Eudyptes, Pygoscelis, and Aptenodytes) and two Miocene species: Paraptenodytes antarticus (Moreno and Mercerat, 1891) and Madrynornis mirandus Acosta Hospitaleche, Tambussi, Donato & Cozzuol. Seventeen landmark from the skull were chosen, including homologous and geometrical points. Morphologi- cal similarities among RFTRA distances are depicted using the resulting dendrograms for UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic average) cluster analysis. This shape analysis allows the assessment of similarities and differences in the skulls and jaws of penguins within a more comprehensive ecomorphological and phylogenetic framework. Even though penguin diet is not well known, enough data supports the conclusion that Spheniscus + Eudyptes penguins specialize on fish and all other taxa are plankton-feeders or fish and crustacean-feeders. We compared representative species of both ecomor- phological groups with the available fossil material to evaluate their feeding strategies. Penguins are the most abundant birds, indeed the most abundant aquatic tetrapods, in Cenozoic marine sediments of South America. The results arising from this study will be of singular importance in the reconstruction of those marine ecosystems.

Colour aberrations in African Penguins Spheniscus demersus. Marine Ornithology 46: 19–22. Colour aberrations among wild birds are of long-time interest because they are uncommon, particularly in seabirds, although recent publications have revealed varying forms of aberrations in cormorants and penguins. In African Penguins Spheniscus demersus, there have been previous sightings of abnormal plumages, particularly in Algoa Bay, South Africa. This paper reveals new cases of plumage aberrations in African Penguins: leucism, “brown,” and phaeomelanism, all within Algoa Bay. While all aberrations seemed of natural origin, one in the shape of a number eight may have resulted from human actions. Key words: African Penguin, abnormal plumages, Algoa Bay, leucism, phaeomelanism, “brown” INTRODUCTION but also an effort on the part of the scientific community to report these rare observations. For example, albinism has been recently Production of melanin pigments eumelanin and phaeomelanin recorded in shags and cormorants (Cook et al. 2012, Crossland can be subject to alterations, both of heritable and non-heritable 2012), as has isabel (incorrect term, as the mutation involved was origin, resulting in abnormalities in plumage colour (van Grouw “brown”) (Oosthuizen & De Bruyn, 2009) and ino (Juàres et al.

Abstract: Emerging viral diseases have become a significant concern due to their potential con- sequences for animal and environmental health. Over the past few decades, it has become clear that viruses emerging in wildlife may pose a major threat to vulnerable or endangered species. Diphtheritic stomatitis, likely to be caused by an avipoxvirus, has been recognised as a signifi- cant cause of mortality for the endangered yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes) in New Zealand. However, the avipoxvirus that infects yellow-eyed penguins has remained uncharacterised. Here, we report the complete genome of a novel avipoxvirus, penguinpox virus 2 (PEPV2), which was derived from a virus isolate obtained from a skin lesion of a yellow-eyed penguin. The PEPV2 genome is 349.8 kbp in length and contains 327 predicted genes; five of these genes were found to be unique, while a further two genes were absent compared to shearwaterpox virus 2 (SWPV2).
