Molecular and morphological studies on Contracaecum rudolphii A and C. rudolphii B in great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) from Italy and Israel [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 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 ...

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]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeParadilepis 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 ...

Microchemical provenancing of prey remains in cormorant pellets reveals the use of diverse foraging grounds. [PDF]
J Wildl Manage, 2022 Microchemical provenancing was successfully applied to otoliths exposed to digestion by piscivorous birds and it was possible to clarify on a small scale from which waterbodies or habitat clusters the birds obtain their food. By the use of prey provenancing, site‐specific management plans can be developed and the effect of management measures on ...

Testing auditory sensitivity in the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis): Psychophysics vs. Auditory brainstem response [PDF]
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2016 Psychoacoustic and electrophysiological methods were used to measure the in-air hearing sensitivity of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis). One individual was used to determine the behavioral thresholds, which was then compared to previously collected data on the auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds from 11 individuals.

Indirect manifestation of cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis (L.)) predation on pond fish stock [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2008 The damage to fisheries caused by cormorant predation pressure consists of losses due to direct predation and subsequent indirect losses elicited by cormorant feeding activities resulting in fish wounding and stress.

The Corneal Structure of the Yellow-Legged Gull, Larus michahellis (Naumann, 1840). [PDF]
J MorpholThis study examines the cornea of Larus michahellis using light and electron microscopy, revealing essential structural details. The corneal epithelium is a nonkeratinized, stratified layer with microridges and microvilli that improve optical properties.

Northern range shift may be due to increased competition induced by protection of species rather than to climate change alone. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 The protection of the species may induce an increase in population that generates increasing competition for optimal feeding areas, which may induce a similar or even a higher northern range shift than the climate change does, or induce an opposite shift with differences between breeding and wintering populations.
