In-air hearing of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) [PDF]
Biology Open, 2017 Many aquatic birds use sounds extensively for in-air communication. Regardless of this, we know very little about their hearing abilities. The in-air audiogram of a male adult great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) was determined using psychophysical ...

A novel gammapolyomavirus in a great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). [PDF]
Arch Virol, 2022 AbstractIn this study, the complete genome of a novel polyomavirus detected in a great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) was characterized. The 5133-bp-long genome of the cormorant polyomavirus has a genomic structure typical of members of the genus Gammapolyomavirus, family Polyomaviridae, containing open reading frames encoding the large and small ...

Local Heterozygosity Effects on Nestling Growth and Condition in the Great Cormorant. [PDF]
Evol Biol, 2015 Under inbreeding, heterozygosity at neutral genetic markers is likely to reflect genome-wide heterozygosity and, thus, is expected to correlate with fitness. There is, however, growing evidence that some of heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) can be explained by 'local effects', where noncoding loci are at linkage disequilibrium with functional ...

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Sex Determination in the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) Based on External Measurements [PDF]
AnimalsThe possibility of sex identification of birds has substantial importance for studies on different aspects of bird ecology and behaviour. Using discriminant functions is becoming increasingly popular in studies of bird species that are monomorphic in ...

First detection of two cycloviruses in cormorant fecal samples in China by high-throughput sequencing technology [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionThe Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) is widely distributed across China. As an apex predator in aquatic ecosystems, it plays a tripartite ecological role: acting as a natural host, transmission vector, and indicator species for viruses ...

Digenean trematodes (Trematoda: Digenea) parasitizing the digestive system of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in Hungary [PDF]
HelminthologiaGreat cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) are widespread piscivorous birds, which cause huge economic losses in the fish fauna worldwide. As a consequence of their predatory behaviour, they serve as definitive hosts for many digenean trematodes, and their ...
