In-air hearing of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) [PDF]
Biology Open, 2017 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 ...

Digenean trematodes (Trematoda: Digenea) parasitizing the digestive system of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in Hungary [PDF]
HelminthologiaGreat 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 ...

A novel gammapolyomavirus in a great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). [PDF]
Arch Virol, 2022 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 ...
