Phylogeny of the Phalacrocoracidae

The Condor, 1988
I undertook a phylogenetic analysis of the Recent taxa of Phalacrocoracidae using qualitative osteological characters. The family comprises two subfamilies. The Phalacrocoracinae (cormorants) comprise four genera of all-dark, littorine species: Microcarbo (microcormorants), Compsohalieus (marine cormorants), Hypoleucos (mesocormorants), and ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of great cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo (Phalacrocorax, Phalacrocoracidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2016
The great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) is widely distributed in the world. Here, we report the complete mitogenome sequence of P. carbo, which was 18,995 bp long and composed of 15 protein-coding genes, 25 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 control regions. Most genes were located on H-strand except for 10 tRNAs and 2 ND6 genes. In protein-coding genes,

Comparative Ecomorphology of Cormorants (Phalacrocoracidae)

Waterbirds, 2016
Abstract. Cormorants (Phalacrocoracidae) depend on their hind limbs (legs) to pursue prey underwater, rendering these structures critical for their survival. Assemblages of three or more species can be found in a variety of regions including the coasts of western USA (California), central Chile, and western South Africa. Cormorants all hunt via pursuit

New species of haematozoa in Phalacrocoracidae and Stercorariidae in South Africa

Ostrich, 2010
New species of haematozoa, namely Leucocytozoon ugwidi sp. nov. from the Cape Cormorant Phalacrocorax capensis and Haemoproteus skuae sp. nov. from the Subantarctic Skua Catharacta antarctica, are described. These are the first species to be recorded from the families Phalacrocoracidae and Stercorariidae, respectively.OSTRICH 2010, 81(2): 103 ...

THE WATER REPELLENCY AND FEATHER STRUCTURE OF CORMORANTS, PHALACROCORACIDAE

Ostrich, 1967
ABSTRACT The water-repellency of the feathers of ducks is greatly increased by a structural feature which can be expressed in terms of diameter and spacing of the barbs and barbules. This structural parameter is smaller for cormorant’s feathers and causes a lesser extent of water repellency.

FEEDING BEHAVIOUR AND DMNG RHYTHMS OF SOME NEW ZEALAND SHAGS, PHALACROCORACIDAE

Ibis, 1967
SummaryRecords of the duration of the dives and resting periods of two species of Shags, which fish in the coastal waters of New Zealand's South Island, show the existence of an ecological segregation whereby each species is working within the limits of its greatest physiological efficiency.

A cormorant from the late Oligocene of Enspel, Germany (Aves, Pelecaniformes, Phalacrocoracidae)

Senckenbergiana lethaea, 2001
A foot of a cormorant (Aves, Pelecaniformes, Phalacrocoracidae) is described from the Late Oligocene of the locality Enspel near Bad Marienberg, Germany (MP 28). The specimen is tentatively assigned to the genusOligocorax Lambrecht 1933 which is shown to be morphologically distinct from the Recent genusPhalacrocorax.
