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).”
Population status, trends and a re-examination of the hypotheses explaining the recent declines of the southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina (2005, background): “The mean sizes of the prey species common to both were also similar (Slip, 1995; Slip et al., 1995; MacLeod et al., 2003).”
Movements of satellite-tagged Blainville's beaked whales off the island of Hawai'i (2009, unknown): “What little is known about diet indicates that Blainville’s beaked whales in other regions primarily consume deep-water squid and small fish (MacLeod et al. 2003).”
Diel variation in beaked whale diving behavior (2008, background): “primarily on deep-water squid (for Cuvier’s) and deep-water squid and fish (for Blainville’s) ( MacLeod et al. 2003; Santos et al. 2007).”
WINTER FEEDING INTENSITY OF NARWHALS (MONODON MONOCEROS) (2005, background): “A larger number of prey species have been found in other odontocetes with a deep-diving ability (Santos et al. 2001a, b; Walker et al. 2002; MacLeod et al. 2003; Whitehead et al. 2003).”
