Molecular Ecology Resources, 2009 AbstractTwenty‐four polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the double‐crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus). The number of alleles ranged from two to 13 and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.032 to 0.871. The use of these loci should enable researchers and biologists to learn more about the population structure and ecology of ...

Heat increment of feeding in double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) and its potential for thermal substitution [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2008 SUMMARYDiving endotherms inhabiting polar regions face potentially high thermoregulatory costs. Unless properly insulated, these animals will lose vast amounts of heat when diving in cold water, which has to be balanced by heat production. Heat generated as a by-product of digestion (heat increment of feeding, HIF) or from exercising muscles might be ...

Refinement of Biomarker Pentosidine Methodology for use on Aging Birds
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 There is no reliable method for determining age for most species of long-lived birds. Recent success using the skin chemical pentosidine as a biomarker has shown promise as an aging tool for birds.

Swimming modes affect dive durations in diving birds
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Dive duration and body mass are positively correlated across air‐breathing vertebrate species, but other factors affecting dive duration are inadequately studied. Here, we examined the effect of a previously overlooked factor, swimming mode, using phylogenetically informed statistics with data on the diving capabilities of 53 species of avian divers ...

Double‐crested cormorant distribution on catfish aquaculture in the Yazoo River Basin of Mississippi
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Estimating the catfish aquaculture production losses that can be attributed to double‐crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) has proved problematic because knowledge of the distribution of cormorants on catfish aquaculture is lacking.
