Cadmium and lead concentrations in Contracaecum rudolphii (Nematoda) and its host, the cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo (Aves).
There are a variety of ways to assess the environmental impacts on parasites (Lafferty D. 1997: Parasitol. Today 13: 251-255). Recent studies on endoparasites of fish have revealed that several helminths (mainly acanthocephalans, and to a lesser degree tapeworms) from the intestine of their definitive hosts bioconcentrate heavy metals above the values detected in host tissues (review in Sures B...
متن کاملIn-air hearing of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
Many aquatic birds use sounds extensively for in-air communication. Regardless of this, we know very little about their hearing abilities. The in-air audiogram of a male adult great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) was determined using psychophysical methods (method of constants). Hearing thresholds were derived using pure tones of five different frequencies. The lowest threshold was at 2 kHz: 1...
متن کاملScreening of protozoan and microsporidian parasites in feces of great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
The global population of great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo L.) is on the rise. These birds, characterized by rapid metabolism, can deposit large quantities of feces, and because they breed on the land but forage on water, both terrestrial and aquatic environments can be simultaneously affected by their activities. The contribution of great cormorants in the dispersal of bacterial and viral ...
متن کاملPrey detection by great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) in clear and in turbid water.
The scattering and absorption of light by water molecules and by suspended and dissolved matter (turbidity) degrade image transmission and, thus, underwater perception. We tested the effects on visual detection of prey size and distance (affecting apparent prey size) and of low-level water turbidity in hand-reared great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) diving for natural prey (fish) in...
متن کاملPurification, crystallization, preliminary X-ray diffraction and molecular-replacement studies of great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) haemoglobin
Haemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein that is present in the red blood cells of all vertebrates. In recent decades, there has been substantial interest in attempting to understand the structural basis and functional diversity of avian haemoglobins. Towards this end, purification, crystallization, preliminary X-ray diffraction and molecular-replacement studies have b...
