The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Prey preferences among the community of deep-diving odontocetes from the Bay of Biscay, Northeast Atlantic (2011, unknown): “…scattered data on their feeding habits (e.g. Beatson and O’shea, 2009; Best, 2007; Blanco et al., 2006; Fernández et al., 2009; Gannon et al., 1997; Gonzalez et al., 1994; Jefferson and Barros, 1997; MacLeod et al., 2003; Santos et al., 1999, 2001b, c, 2002, 2006; see also references therein).”
Review of Data on Diets of Beaked Whales: Evidence of Niche Separation and Geographic Segregation (2003, background): “This is particularly true of publications dealing with stomach contents analysis of stranded animals (e.g. Debrot & Barros, 1992; Lick & Piatkowski, 1998; Santos et al., 2001a,b).”
Cephalopod fauna of subantarctic islands: new information from predators (2004, background): “A recent work, however, suggests that Mastigoteuthis schmidti is a significant component of the food of Cuvier’s beaked whales in the North Atlantic (Santos et al. 2001), and M. psychrophila is also the main prey of lanternsharks at Kerguelen (Cherel & Duhamel 2004).”
Cetaceans and Marine Debris: The Great Unknown (2012, background): “report on the stomach contents of three Cuvier’s beaked whales, two of which stranded in Galicia, northwest Spain, in 1990 and 1995 and the other in North Uist, Scotland, in 1999 [17].”
