A novel method for identifying behavioural changes in animal movement data. (2009, background): “…rapidly growing body of work devoted to the detailed study of free-ranging animal movements in the wild, reflecting the increase in the technological ability to accumulate data (Ferguson et al. 1998; Heide-Jørgensen et al. 2003; Block et al. 2005; RopertCoudert & Wilson 2005; Andrews et al. 2008).”
Ontogeny in marine tagging and tracking science: technologies and data gaps (2012, background): “Less invasive and short-duration archival tags (e.g. Johnson & Tyack 2003, Andrews et al. 2008) may be preferable to larger, longer-term tags.”
Studying the behaviour and sensory ecology of marine mammals using acoustic recording tags: a review (2009, background): “Because of their inherently short recording durations, dictated by memory and battery capacity, acoustic tags are seldom appropriate for use with skin-penetrating attachments designed for long-term deployments (Mate et al. 2007, Andrews et al. 2008).”
Satellite tracking of a killer whale (Orcinus orca) in the eastern Canadian Arctic documents ice avoidance and rapid, long-distance movement into the North Atlantic (2011, methodology): “SPOT5 location-only satellite transmitters (Wildlife Computers, WA) surface-mounted with two 6-cm titanium darts ( Andrews et al. 2008 ) were deployed using a 150-lb draw weight crossbow (Excalibur Vixen, Kitchener, ON, Canada).”
Movements and habitat use of satellite-tagged false killer whales around the main Hawaiian Islands (2010, methodology): “The tags used were based on a design of Andrews et al. (2008) and have also been used on several other species of odontocetes (Schorr et al. 2009a, this Theme Section, 2009b).”
Cooperative hunting behavior, prey selectivity and prey handling by pack ice killer whales (Orcinus orca), type B, in Antarctic Peninsula waters (2012, methodology): “The 41 g tags were deployed using crossbow bolts fired at the dorsal fins of whales, with tags held in place by two 6.5 cm barbed titanium darts (see Andrews et al. 2008 for additional details).”
Behavioral impacts of disentanglement of a right whale under sedation and the energetic cost of entanglement (2014, background): “Impact Minimally-Percutaneous External-electronics Transmitter (LIMPET) (Andrews et al. 2008) (Fig.”
Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “…teleost fish (e.g. Block et al., 2005; Holdsworth et al., 2009; Sims et al., 2009), cetaceans (e.g. Heide-Jørgensen et al., 2006, Mate et al., 2007; Andrews et al., 2008), elasmobranchs (e.g. Eckert et al., 2002; Bonfil et al., 2005) seals & sea lions (e.g. Breed et al., 2009; Kuhn et al., 2010),…”
The Evolution of Animal Domestication (2014, background): “This is the case for killer whales about whom genetic and behavioral studies have revealed numerous ecotypes on the basis of different feeding strategies (Andrews et al. 2008, Foote et al. 2009).”
Movements of satellite-tagged Blainville's beaked whales off the island of Hawai'i (2009, methodology): “1), we tagged beaked whales using a modified version of a tag used previously on killer whales Orcinus orca (Andrews et al. 2008).”
