Use of Artificial Eggs Reduces Double-Crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) Fledging
Waterbirds, 2019Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) populations have rapidly grown across the United States. In some locations cormorant populations have become a management concern due to real or perceived effects on local fish populations, altering island vegetation, and displacing other colonial waterbirds.

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2013 Although it is well established that wild birds, such as cormorants, carry virulent avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (APMV-1; causative agent of Newcastle disease) and avian influenza virus (AIV), the prevalence of these viruses among Double-crested ...

DIET OF DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS (PHALACROCORAX AURITUS) WINTERING ON THE CENTRAL TEXAS COAST
The Southwestern Naturalist, 2004Abstract Diets of double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) wintering on the central Texas coast were determined from the contents of 51 stomachs from Lavaca Bay and 28 stomachs from upper Laguna Madre. Diets consisted primarily of striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) and Gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) in Lavaca Bay and striped mullet and Gulf ...

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2009
Maternal investment of yolk and albumen in avian eggs varies with egg mass and contributes to variation in hatchling mass. Here we use the natural variation in mass and composition of Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) eggs to examine consequences of variation in yolk and albumen mass on hatchling phenotype.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1996
Abstract To test an association between environmental contaminants and the prevalence of congenital anomalies in colonial waterbirds, we collected representative eggs for chemical analysis from double-crested cormorant nests at colonies in Lake Michigan, Wisconsin, USA, and Lake Winnipegosis, Manitoba, Canada, and periodically revisited ...

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2002
AbstractTopical vecuronium bromide (Norcuron®) and combinations with atropine and phenylephrine, were evaluated as mydriatics in juvenile double‐crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus). Nine cormorants were treated with each of four protocols: 1% atropine; 4 mg/mL vecuronium bromide (total 0.16 mg/eye); atropine with vecuronium; and atropine, 2.5 ...

Avian paramyxovirus type 1 (Newcastle disease virus) and Salmonella typhimurium were isolated from the brain and lung tissues of double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) from Lac Canard, Alberta, Canada. More than 100 birds died during this outbreak in 1999.

Colonial Waterbirds, 1998
-Tissues from 99 Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) collected between 1994 and 1997 from southern Florida, were analyzed for concentrations of mercury and selenium. These concentrations were correlated with each other, including concentrations of mercury and selenium in liver. Mercury and selenium in liver increased from a mean of 15 and

Cardiac physiology and diving behaviour of double-crested cormorants (phalacrocorax auritus)
2009Heart rate and dive behaviour were monitored in adult double-crested cormorants during shallow and deep diving and after exposure to different breathing gas mixtures to investigate the role of intravascular chemoreceptors in cardiac and behavioural control during voluntary diving.
