Spatial models of delphinid (family Delphinidae) encounter rate and group size in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2006, background): “Reilly and Fiedler (1994)noted that the interannual variability in the species data was largely accounted for by the interannual variation in the environment.”
Past and present distribution, densities and movements of blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in the Southern Hemisphere and northern Indian Ocean (2007, background): “For the more northern regions, we considered the annual mean location of the Costa Rica Dome in the eastern tropical Pacific (~9°N 90°W), as outlined by the 20°C isotherm depth at 35 m (Fiedler, 2002), and the location of the 25°C isotherm at the surface, which marks the position of the seasonal Equ”
