Year-round recordings of behavioural and physiological parameters reveal the survival strategy of a poorly insulated diving endotherm during the Arctic winter

David Grémillet, Grégoire Kuntz, Anthony J. Woakes, Caroline Gilbert, Jean-Patrice Robin, Yvon Le Maho, Patrick J. Butler
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2005) 208 (22): 4231–4241.

... contrast to other marine mammals and seabirds living at high latitudes, Arctic great cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo have very limited thermal insulation because of their partly permeable plumage. They nonetheless winter in Greenland, where they are exposed to very low air and water temperatures...

Submerged swimming of the great cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis is a variant of the burst-and-glide gait

... of the flow and were not performing swimming motions. Great cormorants are shallow divers, mostly diving to depths <11 m( Grèmillet et al., 1999 ; Johansgard, 1993 ). Therefore,a method to estimate the drag during active paddling while taking into account the influence of buoyancy at shallow depths...

...Gadi Katzir; Howard C. Howland SUMMARY In great cormorants ( Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis ), corneal refractive powers, determined by photokeratometry, ranged between 52.1 diopters (52.1 D) and 63.2 D. Photorefractive reflexes, determined by infrared video photorefraction, indicated...
