Size Matters: Diversity and Abundance of Small Mammal Community Varies with the Size of Great Cormorant Colony

Diversity, 2023
Cormorant colonies are often viewed negatively by fishermen and foresters due to their extremely high impact on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In forests, the habitats of nesting territories are destroyed, with concomitant impacts on the animal ...

Steep declines of colonial wading birds in northeastern North America's largest breeding population

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study analyzed 22 years of complete nest census data for colonial wading birds in New York–New Jersey Harbor, the largest breeding population in the northeastern United States. Over this period, the total wading bird population decreased by 27%, a rate exceeding average long‐term declines across North American birds.

Great cormorant predation on Cisalpine pike: a conservation conflict [PDF]

European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2015
In the last decades, the distribution and abundance of great cormorants have extraordinarily increased throughout Europe. Many studies reported that great cormorants may impact fish populations not only by consuming large number of individuals but also by wounding them.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.
