Double‐crested cormorant distribution on catfish aquaculture in the Yazoo River Basin of Mississippi
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.

Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...

Swimming modes affect dive durations in diving birds
Dive duration and body mass are positively correlated across air‐breathing vertebrate species, but other factors affecting dive duration are inadequately studied. Here, we examined the effect of a previously overlooked factor, swimming mode, using phylogenetically informed statistics with data on the diving capabilities of 53 species of avian divers ...

We documented a novel predator–predator commensal foraging interaction between cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and a southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) in a shallow coastal habitat of Biscayne Bay, Florida. Using drone‐based observations, we recorded a 7‐min sequence in which a cobia closely tracked the stingray's movements and fed on prey disturbed ...

Effects of researcher disturbance on Double-crested Cormorant nest survival
Demographic data on avian species are critically important for conservation and management. Research on avian demography often requires some level of human disturbance at nest sites.

Avian influenza overview December 2025–February 2026
Abstract Between 29 November 2025 and 27 February 2026, 2514 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (406) and wild (2108) birds in 32 countries in Europe. Albeit still at high levels after the peak was reached at the beginning of the current reporting period, the weekly number of detections has since ...

Notes on rare, vagrant and exotic avifauna at Macquarie Island, 1901-2000 [PDF]
The occurrence and status of rare, vagrant and exotic bird taxa recorded at Macquarie Island between 1901 and 2000 are reviewed. The number of species recorded at the island, excluding those that have bred regularly on the main island between 1901 and ...
