In-air hearing of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). [PDF]

Biol 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Morphological and molecular data on acuariid nematodes in European great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and pygmy cormorants (Microcarbo pygmaeus). [PDF]

Sci Rep
The family Acuariidae is a speciose group of parasitic nematodes, infecting mostly birds as definitive hosts. This study focused on the characterization of two species of acuariids, collected in two different species of piscivorous birds, the European ...

Mercury distribution in the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) from the Krogulna ponds and Nysa Kłodzka River (Poland). [PDF]

Vet Med (Praha), 2023
Mercury belongs among the highly hazardous substances present in the environment and represents a great health risk for many animals including predatory and piscivorous birds.

The importance of voucher specimens: misidentification or previously unknown mtDNA diversity in Phalacrocorax capillatus (Aves: Phalacrocoracidae)? [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2023
A recently published complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese or Temminck’s cormorant (Phalacrocorax capillatus) was the first of this species (GenBank accession number LC714913).

Invasive parasites and global change: Evidence for the recent and rapid spillover of a potential pathogen of tilapias with a complex, three-host life cycle. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
Biological invasions pose a serious threat to local flora and fauna and have negative impacts on ecosystems. Invasive parasites can also cause severe losses in aquaculture.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Sex Determination in the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) Based on External Measurements. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
The 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 ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of a subspecies of the great cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo hanedae (Kuroda, 1925) (Suliformes: Phalacrocoracidae). [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2023
We determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of a subspecies of the great cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo hanedae (Kuroda, 1925) using long PCR and primer walking methods.

First detection of two cycloviruses in cormorant fecal samples in China by high-throughput sequencing technology. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
IntroductionThe 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 ...
