Use of social information in seabirds: compass rafts indicate the heading of food patches. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Ward and Zahavi suggested in 1973 that colonies could serve as information centres, through a transfer of information on the location of food resources between unrelated individuals (Information Centre Hypothesis).

Pedogeochemical Anomalies in Surroundings of Great Cormorant Colony (Case Study in Lithuania)
E3S Web of Conferences, 2013 The area where the colony of great cormorants in Curonian Spit (Lithuania) prospers from 1989 is the study object of “Koreko” project. Based on geochemical results of 90 samples of topsoil from 6 zones which differ according to the influence of the great

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.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 ...

Double‐crested cormorant distribution on catfish aquaculture in the Yazoo River Basin of Mississippi
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Estimating the catfish aquaculture production losses that can be attributed to double‐crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) has proved problematic because knowledge of the distribution of cormorants on catfish aquaculture is lacking.

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

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.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
