The complexity of ecological impacts induced by great cormorants
Following decades of global extermination, the general population of the great cormorant
(Phalacrocorax carbo L.) is on the rise. The lack of regular predators, highly skilled fish …

Feces from piscivorous and herbivorous birds stimulate differentially phytoplankton growth
Aquatic birds may impact shallow ecosystems via organic and nutrient enrichment with
feces. Such input may alleviate nutrient limitation, unbalance their ecological stoichiometry …

Monthly abundance patterns and the potential role of waterbirds as phosphorus sources to a hypertrophic Baltic lagoon
Compared to external loads from tributaries and sediment recycling, the role of waterbirds as
phosphorus (P) sources in estuaries is overlooked. We performed monthly ship-based …

Effects of a small seagull colony on trophic status and primary production in a Mediterranean coastal system (Marinello ponds, Italy)
Colonies of seabirds have been shown to influence nutrient cycling and primary production
of coastal areas, but knowledge is still limited above all for smaller colonies. This study …
