Digenean trematodes (Trematoda: Digenea) parasitizing the digestive system of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in Hungary [PDF]
Great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) are widespread piscivorous birds, which cause huge economic losses in the fish fauna worldwide. As a consequence of their predatory behaviour, they serve as definitive hosts for many digenean trematodes, and their ...

In-air hearing of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) [PDF]
Many aquatic birds use sounds extensively for in-air communication. Regardless of this, we know very little about their hearing abilities. The in-air audiogram of a male adult great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) was determined using psychophysical ...

Molecular and morphological studies on Contracaecum rudolphii A and C. rudolphii B in great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) from Italy and Israel [PDF]
The distribution of parasites is shaped by a variety of factors, among which are the migratory movements of their hosts. Israel has a unique position to migratory routes of several bird species leaving Europe to winter in Africa, however, detailed ...

A novel gammapolyomavirus in a great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). [PDF]
AbstractIn this study, the complete genome of a novel polyomavirus detected in a great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) was characterized. The 5133-bp-long genome of the cormorant polyomavirus has a genomic structure typical of members of the genus Gammapolyomavirus, family Polyomaviridae, containing open reading frames encoding the large and small ...

Morphological and molecular data on acuariid nematodes in European great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and pygmy cormorants (Microcarbo pygmaeus) [PDF]
The family Acuariidae is a speciose group of parasitic nematodes, infecting mostly birds as definitive hosts. This study focused on the characterization of two species of acuariids, collected in two different species of piscivorous birds, the European ...

First record of Paradilepis scolecina (Rudolphi, 1819) Hsü, 1935 (Cestoda: Gryporhynchidae) in Republic of Korea with notes on ultrastructure and ecological risk in great cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis (Staunton, 1796) (Aves: Phalacrocoracidae) [PDF]
Paradilepis scolecina (Rudolphi, 1819) Hsü, 1935 is a tapeworm widely distributed across the globe that uses piscivorous birds as definitive hosts. Although various piscivorous birds inhabit the Republic of Korea (Korea), this species has not previously ...

Diet, Prey Selection and Biomass Consumption of the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in Algeria
This is the first study on the diet of the Great Cormorant wintering in Algeria. It is carried out in Beni Haroun, the largest dam lake in the country, in north-east of Algeria. The trophic menu of Phalacrocorax carboin this lake is based on four species

A kárókatona (Phalacrocorax carbo) halfogyasztása Magyarországon
A magyarországi madárfauna néhány védett tagja esetében – azok táplálkozásából kifolyólag – bizonyos konfliktushelyzet alakult, illetve alakulhat ki a területeken halgazdálkodók és a természetvédelem között. Testméreteiket és egyedszámaikat tekintve két potenciális „konfliktusfaj” fordul elő nálunk: a kárókatona (Phalacrocorax carbo) és a szürke gém ...
