Flight performance of great cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis suggests sufficient muscle capacity for adaptive speed adjustment. [PDF]
J Exp BiolPower required to fly for a bird generally follows a U-shaped function of airspeed, with higher cost at both low and high speeds. Because power required increases with body mass faster than power available from flight muscles, larger birds may experience

Seasonal climatic niche and migration movements of Double‐crested Cormorants
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
