In-Air and Underwater Hearing in the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis)

open access: yes, 2016
Hearing thresholds of a great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) were measured in air and under water using psychophysics. The lowest thresholds were at 2 kHz (45 dB re 20 μPa root-mean-square [rms] in air and 79 dB re 1 μPa rms in water). Auditory brainstem response measurements on one anesthetized bird in air indicated an audiogram with a shape that ...

Importance of the Mediterranean for Wintering Cormorants Phalacrocorax Carbo Sinensis

1986
In this paper we summarize the present information available for wintering Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis in the Mediterranean. During recent years (1980–1985) we followed sinensis birds originating from colonies in North-West Europe on their wintering grounds in the Mediterranean. A more detailed programme is in progress. Here we present some

Sex Determination of Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) using Morphometric Measurements

Waterbirds, 2008
Abstract Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) is monomorphic in plumage such that sexes cannot be separated by plumage characteristics. In contrast, it displays sexual size dimorphism, with males generally being larger than females. Sexual dimorphism and variability in size of the continental Great Cormorant (P. c.

Impact of Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis (Aves, Phalacrocoracidae) on the fishery resources of a Sardinian lagoon

open access: yes, 2012
The negative impact of ichthyophagous birds on fish stocks are now matter of great concern. The aim of this study is to assess the wintering diet of the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) in the S. Antioco lagoon (south-western Sardinia). Through the morphological analysis of undigested hard body parts, such as otoliths, it was possible to ...

Wintering Population of the Common Cormorant Phalacrocorax Carbo Sinensis in Tuscany, Italy

1986
Common Cormorants of the Continental race Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis have recently increased their breeding populations, since some European countries have stopped control measures against them (Hansen, 1984; Hald-Mortensen, 1985; Rooth, 1985). This fact, not completely analyzed in the 1970’s (Cramp & Simmons, 1977) is now also affecting numbers ...

Energetics of underwater swimming in the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis)

Marine Biology, 1995
Resting metabolic rate (RMR), energy requirements and body core temperature were measured during underwater swimming in great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) at the zoological garden in Neumunster, Germany, using gas respirometry and stomach temperature loggers. We used a 13 m long still water canal equipped with a respiration chamber at each

Hematology and Plasma Biochemistry Values of Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) Nestlings

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2013
Hematology and plasma biochemistry values were determined in 92 free-living Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) chicks at Jeziorsko reservoir, central Poland. Percentage distribution of leukocytes, packed cell volume, plasma concentrations of hemoglobin and basic biochemical parameters were evaluated. These values may be treated as reference
