A Derived Morphology of the Quadrate May Support a Previously Unrecognized Major Higher-Level Clade of Neoavian Birds. [PDF]
J MorpholThe avian quadrate plays a critical role in cranial kinesis, but few comparative studies exist of its morphological variation across higher‐level taxa. In this study, the occurrence of a markedly concave articular facet of the condylus medialis is surveyed across neornithine birds.

Metabolic rate throughout the annual cycle reveals the demands of an Arctic existence in Great Cormorants [PDF]
, 2011 Aquatic endotherms living in polar regions are faced with a multitude of challenges, including low air and water temperatures and low illumination, especially in winter. Like other endotherms from cold environments, Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo)

Foraging behavior of Brazilian cormorant, Nannopterum brasilianus (Suliformes: Phalacrocoracidae)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018 Although the concept of optimal foraging has been extensively discussed, foraging efficiency is difficult to assess in vertebrates. In this study, we determined the foraging efficiency of the Brazilian cormorant, Nannopterum brasilianus Gmelin, 1789, by ...

Wetting morphologies on an array of fibers of different radii [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the equilibrium morphology of a finite volume of liquid placed on two parallel rigid fibers of different radii. As observed for identical radii fibers, the liquid is either in a column morphology or adopts a drop shape depending on the ...
