Underwater hearing in the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis): Methodological considerations [PDF]
The underwater hearing threshold of a great cormorant (Phalacrocroax carbo sinensis) was measured at 2 kHz using psychophysical methods. Previous in-air and underwater testing suggests that cormorants have rather poor in-air hearing compared to other birds of similar size (Johansen, 2016).

Microchemical provenancing of prey remains in cormorant pellets reveals the use of diverse foraging grounds. [PDF]
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 ...

Cormorant catch concerns for fishers: estimating the size-selectivity of a piscivorous bird. [PDF]
Conflict arises in fisheries worldwide when piscivorous birds target fish species of commercial value. This paper presents a method for estimating size selectivity functions for piscivores and uses it to compare predation selectivities of Great ...
