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, 2016Abstract. 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

THE WATER REPELLENCY AND FEATHER STRUCTURE OF CORMORANTS, PHALACROCORACIDAE
Ostrich, 1967ABSTRACT 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, 1967SummaryRecords 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.

Rasprostranjenost gnijezdećih kolonija vranaca (Phalacrocoracidae) u Hrvatskoj
2016Porodica vranci ili kormorani (Phalacrocoracidae) po brojnosti je vrsta najveća porodica reda Suliformes razreda ptica (Aves). S obzirom da su vranci na vrhu hranidbenog lanca, indikatori su biološke raznolikosti i kontinentalnih vodenih i morskih ekosustava. Na području Hrvatske gnijezde tri vrste iz porodice vranaca (Phalacrocoracidae).
