The foraging behavior and feeding locations of the Red-legged Cormorant (Phalacrocorax gaimardi) were studied at Ria Deseado, Argentina during the last week of the incubation period in 1999. VHF radio-transmitters were ...

Although there have been several studies of the foraging behavior of the Imperial Cormorant (Phalacrocorax atriceps) and the Rock Shag (Phalacrocorax magellanicus), none document the feeding performance and the use of ...

The authors regret an involuntary mistake in the specific determination of Pectinopygus turbinatus, where the correct name is Eidmanniella pellucida. As follow we present the revised taxonomic review for this species: ...

Imperial Cormorants Phalacrocorax atriceps and Rock Shags P. magellanicus are foot-propelled pursuit divers usually described as visual feeders (Johnsgard 1993). Previous studies describing Imperial Cormorant and Rock Shag ...
