Microsatellite Variation of Double-Crested Cormorant Populations in Eastern North America
Double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) exhibit highly adaptive and opportunistic foraging behavior. This flexibility in foraging and increases in population size have led to conflicts with aquaculture and recreational and commercial fishing ...

Accumulation of organochlorine contaminants in double-crested cormorants
Environmental Pollution, 1993Cormorant eggs and lipid samples from juvenile Cormorants were analyzed for 14 organochlorine contaminants. Low concentrations (geometric mean < 0.05 microg/g) of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), lindane, oxy-chlordane, heptachlor epoxide, dieldrin, endrin, mirex, DDD and DDT in eggs primarily reflected the wintering-ground origin of organochlorine ...

Progenicide in Double-Crested Cormorants
The Condor, 1980Adult Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have been known to attack (but rarely kill) strange, sick, or dying cormorant chicks (Lewis, H.L., The natural history of the Double-crested Cormorant, Ru-Mi-Lou Books, Ottawa, 1929). During the first week of July 1975, on Mandarte Island, British Columbia, Canada, I observed five adult cormorants

Bill malformations in double-crested cormorants with low exposure to organochlorines
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1999Abstract Eight of 20 newly hatched double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus), captured at Doré Lake (Saskatchewan, Canada) and raised in captivity, developed malformed bills when they were 2 to 3 weeks old. Malformation was characterized by abnormal flexure and rotation of the maxilla and mandible, resulting in a crossed bill. By

Evidence for Sex Differences in Mercury Dynamics in Double-Crested Cormorants
Environmental Science & Technology, 2011Aquatic fish-eating birds can demethylate methylmercury in their livers. In this study, we determined whether a previously documented male bias in mercury concentration in double-crested cormorants ( Phalacrocorax auritus ) was due entirely to the depuration of mercury into eggs or might also in part be related to sex differences in methylmercury ...

AN EPIDEMIC OF NEWCASTLE DISEASE IN DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS FROM SASKATCHEWAN
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1998A Newcastle disease epidemic in double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) occurred in July and August 1995, during a 1994-96 study of a breeding colony of this species on Doré Lake (Saskatchewan, Canada). Clinical signs and mortality were observed from a tunnel-and-blind system, and moribund and freshly dead birds were examined virologically ...
