The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

CORMORANT – A PROBLEM AND A POSSIBLE SOLUTION [PDF]
Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 1996 Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) is ichthyophagous bird which has bred in great numbers causing great damages in ponds and open waters after its hunt was fully banned in 1979.

Shifting Effects of Ocean Conditions on Survival and Breeding Probability of a Long-Lived Seabird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 With a rapidly changing climate, there is an increasing need to predict how species will respond to changes in the physical environment. One approach is to use historic data to estimate the past influence of environmental variation on important ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Over 44% of European lakes fail to meet ecological quality standards, prompting substantial investment in lake restoration to achieve good ecological status. Unfortunately, effects are often short‐lived due to persistent internal phosphorus (P) loading and strong cyprinid‐driven bottom‐up control, which limits water quality ...

Impact of cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis L.) colonies on microbial pollution in lakes
Limnological Review, 2013 During 2009-2011 we investigated the effect of perennial and roosting cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) colonies on microbial pollution in 3 lakes: Góreckie (Greater Poland National Park), Chrzypsko (Greater Poland Province) and Ostrowiec (Drawa ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2725-2738, October 2026.Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

ASSESSMENT METHODS OF CORMORANT (Phalacrocorax carbo) DIET [PDF]
Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 2008 Various cormorant diet assessment methods are used to assess their daily meal in order to evaluate, using these and other data, the damage to commercial fish farms as well as the damage on open waters caused by cormorants.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over
