Habitat preference, accessibility, and competition limit the global distribution of breeding Black-browed Albatrosses (2011, methodology): “As errors associated with PTT locations are variable and sometimes large (Vincent et al. 2002), we filtered tracking data (McConnell et al. 2002), removing those locations that gave rise to unrealistically high average speeds (.80 m/s).”
A comparison of indirect measures of feeding behaviour based on ARGOS tracking data (2007, background): “These variables are then averaged over some window of time or distance and a threshold is established to distinguish feeding from non-feeding behaviour (Kareiva and Odell, 1987; McConnell et al., 1999; Le Boeuf et al., 2000; McConnell et al., 2002).”
Fine-scale three-dimensional spatial use by diving, lactating female Weddell seals Leptonychotes weddellii (2002, background): “…larger-scale spatial use patterns in 2 dimensions, e.g. in southern elephant seals (McConnell & Fedak 1996), northern elephant seals (Le Boeuf et al. 2000), grey seals (McConnell et al. 1992b, 2002) and spotted dolphins (Davis et al. 1996), usually with spatial resolutions of 1 km or more.”
Foraging under contrasting oceanographic conditions: the gentoo penguin at Kerguelen Archipelago (2005, background): “…Croxall et al. 1993, Wilson 1995, Boyd et al. 2004), satellite transmitters and global positioning systems (e.g. Jouventin & Weimerskirch 1990, McConnell et al. 2002, Weimerskirch et al. 2002) has allowed us to gain considerable knowledge about the foraging behavior and energetics of diving…”
Loyalty pays: potential life history consequences of fidelity to marine foraging regions by southern elephant seals (2004, background): “…(survival) during the juvenile years, resulting from a combination of having sufficient body reserves postweaning (McMahon et al. 2000b) and random events, leading to an increased probability of juvenile survival in unfamiliar habitats during the first few trips to sea (McConnell et al. 2002).”
Southern elephant seal trajectories, fronts and eddies in the Brazil/Malvinas Confluence (2006, methodology): “But the most frequently studied relationship between the physical environment and behavior involves SST (e.g., Field et al., 2001; McConnell et al., 2002; Bradshaw et al., 2004b).”
Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, methodology): “…the inaccuracies inherent, to a certain degree, in data provided by all tracking devices, improbable positions are often removed by filtering prior to detailed analysis (e.g. McConnell et al. 2002), and missing locations estimated by linear or curvilinear interpolation (e.g. Tremblay et al. 2006).”
Adult female survival, population trend, and the implications of early primiparity in a capital breeder, the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) (2004, background): “On the other hand, juvenile and adult southern elephant seals at Macquarie Island appear to use different foraging areas (McConnell et al., 2002) and the adults and”
