“Ethinylestradiol Exposure Results in More Severe Genetic Dysregulation in Double-Crested Cormorant Embryos Than Japanese Quail Embryos: A Study on Toxicant Sensitivity”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116984

This study found that exposure to the toxicant ethinylestradiol results in greater genetic dysregulation in double-crested cormorant embryos compared to Japanese quail embryos, which may help explain why cormorants are more sensitive to the developmental effects of this compound.
