Was the extinct Spectacled Cormorant part of the North Pacific kelp-associated fauna?

Amy L. Adams, Pascale Lubbe, Alexander T. Salis…·Nicolas J. Rawlence

This paper uses ancient DNA to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the extinct Spectacled Cormorant, finding it diverged from relatives around 6.98 Mya and may have been a kelp-forest predator.
