Seasonal climatic niche and migration movements of Double‐crested Cormorants [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Avian migrants are challenged by seasonal adverse climatic conditions and energetic costs of long‐distance flying. Migratory birds may track or switch seasonal climatic niche between the breeding and non‐breeding grounds. Satellite tracking enables avian

Coexistence of three sympatric cormorants (Phalacrocorax spp.); partitioning of time as an ecological resource [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Resource partitioning is well known along food and habitat for reducing competition among sympatric species, yet a study on temporal partitioning as a viable basis for reducing resource competition is not empirically investigated.
