- Foraging destinations and marine habitat use of short-tailed albatrosses: A multi-scale approach using first-passage time analysis (2006, background): “Opportunistic sightings from shipboard observers (Hasegawa and DeGange, 1982 and references therein; Piatt et al., 2006) indicate that short-tailed albatrosses primarily range along the continental shelf and slope regions of the North Pacific.”
- Identifying predictable foraging habitats for a wide‐ranging marine predator using ensemble ecological niche models (2015, background): “However, there is evidence to suggest that some species, particularly albatrosses, may target or track regions in which the availability of prey resources is related to persistent oceanographic conditions and hence predictable over broad- to mesoscales, thus optimizing foraging success (Piatt et al.”
- Comparison of five modelling techniques to predict the spatial distribution and abundance of seabirds (2012, background): “Because these foraging areas along migratory routes are equally important for the conservation of seabirds, the identification and protection of those areas is a key priority for seabird conservation (BirdLife International, 2010b; Oppel et al., 2009; Piatt et al., 2006).”
- Spatial interaction between seabirds and prey: review and synthesis (2009, background): “…high production or accumulation of biological matter, such as in frontal areas delineating different water masses (Abrams 1985, Wahl et al. 1989, Pakhomov & McQuaid 1996, Hyrenbach et al. 2007), along the continental edge (Hay 1992, Piatt et al. 2006), or in inshore waters (Harrison et al. 1994).”
- Summer spatial distribution of cetaceans in the Strait of Gibraltar in relation to the oceanographic context (2008, methodology): “The slope was categorised following the categories of Piatt et al. (2006) as gentle (0 to 80 m km–1), moderate (80 to 160 m km–1) and steep (160 to 240 m km–1).”
- Submarine canyons as important habitat for cetaceans, with special reference to the Gully: A review (2014, background): “Some submarine canyons are even referred to as foraging “hotspots” due to the large number of top-level marine predators such as fish, marine birds and cetaceans that occur within them (e.g., Piatt et al., 2006; Smith et al., 2010; Yen et al., 2004).”
- Spatial association between hotspots of baleen whales and demographic patterns of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba suggests size-dependent predation (2010, unknown): “We examined the spatial distribution and abundance of krill length-maturity classes and whales to map predictable locations containing high and persistent concentrations (i.e. hotspot analysis; Hyrenbach et al. 2000, Piatt et al. 2006, Yen et al. 2006).”
