Isotopic Discrimination in the Double-Crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The diet-tissue discrimination factor is the amount by which a consumer's tissue varies isotopically from its diet, and is therefore a key element in models that use stable isotopes to estimate diet composition.

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

Amino acid-specific isotopes reveal changing five-dimensional niche segregation in Pacific seabirds over 50 years [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHutchison’s niche theory suggests that coexisting competing species occupy non-overlapping hypervolumes, which are theoretical spaces encompassing more than three dimensions, within an n-dimensional space.
