Influence of Local Wind Conditions on the Flight Speed of the Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo
In seabirds, the relationship between flight speed and wind direction/speed is thought to be particularly important for studying energy-saving strategy and foraging habitat selection. In this study, we examined whether the ground and calculated air speeds of four great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carb...
