Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 665-694, April 2026.ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

Swimming modes affect dive durations in diving birds
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Dive duration and body mass are positively correlated across air‐breathing vertebrate species, but other factors affecting dive duration are inadequately studied. Here, we examined the effect of a previously overlooked factor, swimming mode, using phylogenetically informed statistics with data on the diving capabilities of 53 species of avian divers ...

In-air hearing of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
Biology Open, 2017 Many aquatic birds use sounds extensively for in-air communication. Regardless of this, we know very little about their hearing abilities. The in-air audiogram of a male adult great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) was determined using psychophysical ...

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 225-234, March 2026.We documented a novel predator–predator commensal foraging interaction between cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and a southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) in a shallow coastal habitat of Biscayne Bay, Florida. Using drone‐based observations, we recorded a 7‐min sequence in which a cobia closely tracked the stingray's movements and fed on prey disturbed ...

Management of Double-Crested Cormorants to Improve Sport Fisheries in Michigan: Three Case Studies
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Impacts of double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) to fisheries have been documented, but evaluation of the process and outcomes of cormorant management to reduce impacts on fisheries is lacking. We provide a synthesis of adaptive management of
