Wildlife in a Politically Divided World: Insularism Inflates Estimates of Brown Bear Abundance (2016, background): “The challenges posed by transborder wildlife are particularly conspicuous for migratory species (Block et al. 2011), but the problem is inherent to all populations comprising individuals sufficiently mobile to cross a political border (Lambertucci et al. 2014).”
Trace me if you can: the use of intrinsic biogeochemical markers in marine top predators (2012, background): “…advances in electronic tracking devices are helping to fill the current knowledge gap regarding migration patterns of marine predators (Figure 2; Block et al. 2011), but tracking studies are usually restricted to a few breeding individuals, often tracked for short periods due to logistical and…”
Tracking seabirds to identify ecologically important and high risk marine areas in the western North Atlantic (2012, background): “Our research highlights the necessity of conducting multi-year and multi-species studies when using top predators to detect important marine areas and emphasizes the importance of identifying and characterizing biological hotspots based on knowledge, not only of prey behavior and distribution, but a”

Global patterns for upper ceilings on migration distance in sea turtles and comparisons with fish, birds and mammals (2013, background): “…devoted to satellite tracking sea turtles and also, to a lesser extent, to document the extent of juvenile movements using genetic mixed stock analysis (see for example Bowen & Karl 2007; Shillinger et al. 2008; Block et al. 2011), it is timely to review the distance that sea turtles migrate.”
Miniaturization of biologgers is not alleviating the 5% rule (2018, background): “…et al., 2014; White, Grémillet, Green, Martin, & Butler, 2011), monitored the movements of critically endangered and range- expanding species (e.g. Block et al., 2011; Sims et al., 2008; White, Green, Martin, Butler, & Grémillet, 2013), and sampled environmental parameters in inhospitable…”
Trans-equatorial migration and habitat use by sooty shearwaters Puffinus griseus from the South Atlantic during the nonbreeding season (2012, background): “…patterns of wide-ranging marine animals, and the physical and biological processes that influence them at ocean basin scales, will help ongoing efforts to identify ecologically and biologically significant areas as targets for pelagic biodiversity conservation (Game et al. 2009, Block et al. 2011).”

Ontogeny in marine tagging and tracking science: technologies and data gaps (2012, background): “These advances have resulted in a number of broad-reaching findings about animal behavior and distribution (Weimerskirch et al. 2000, Shillinger et al. 2008, Block et al. 2011).”
Multispecies tracking reveals a major seabird hotspot in the North Atlantic (2021, background): “This presents an opportunity for area-based conservation for migratory species, particularly because many oceanic hotspots (i.e., areas beyond continental shelves) are often associated with persistent features, such as major frontal and upwelling systems (Block et al., 2011).”
Apex scavenger movements call for transboundary conservation policies (2014, background): “area of research in relation to marine ecosystems (Yorio, 2009; Block et al., 2011).”
