• Multiple foraging strategies in a marine apex predator, the Galapagos sea lion Zalophus wollebaeki (2008, background): “Epipelagic foragers include Antarctic fur seals Arcto- cephallus gazella (Boyd & Croxall 1992), California sea lions Zalophus californianus (Feldkamp et al. 1989) and leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea (Eckert 2006).”
• Oceanic dispersal of juvenile leatherback turtles: going beyond passive drift modeling (2012, background): “As adult leather - backs travel at a typical swimming speed of 0.4 to 0.6 m s−1 (Eckert 2006, Fossette et al. 2010a), individuals attempting to return to their natal beach would often be slowed, stopped, or even moved backwards by the currents, making the trip particularly challenging.”
• Bottom or midwater: alternative foraging behaviours in adult female loggerhead sea turtles (2007, background): “…observed in remote locations far from land during nonnesting periods (Godley et al., 2002; Polovina et al., 2003; Hays et al., 2004a; James, Myers & Ottensmeyer, 2005; Eckert, 2006; Hatase et al., 2006; Hawkes et al., 2006; Sale et al., 2006; Swimmer et al., 2006; McMahon, Bradshaw & Hays, 2007).”
• Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “Researchers studying leatherback migration have used satellite tracking data to highlight key areas for leatherback conservation (Eckert 2006, James et al. 2005c) but it is clear that mitigation of threats in these areas is not simple.”
• A model of area fidelity, nomadism, and distribution patterns of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “For instance, the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) moves across pelagig habitats searching for gelatinous zooplankton ( Eckert 2006 ); the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is basically herbivorous and its range is limited to coastal foraging pastures (Godley et al. 2003b).”
• Leatherback turtles satellite-tagged in European waters (2008, background): “On 10 November 2005, 350 km northeast of Tenerife, regular transmissions of locations diminished, most probably as a result of biofouling of the saltwater switch that synchronises transmissions with surfacing events.”
• Post-Nesting Migrations of Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) from Jamursba-Medi, Bird's Head Peninsula, Indonesia (2007, background): “…coriacea) has the largest geographic range of any living marine reptile, and individual turtles have been documented to complete extensive migrations in both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean basins (Ferraroli et al. 2004; Hays et al. 2004; James et al. 2005; Eckert 2006; Benson et al. 2007b).”
• Large‐scale movements and high‐use areas of western Pacific leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea (2011, background): “…dispersal strategies illustrated in our study for western Pacific leatherbacks are also found in Atlantic leatherback populations (Ferraroli et al. 2004, Hays et al. 2004, Eckert 2006, Witt et al. 2011), which are abundant and increasing (Dutton et al. 2005, Turtle Expert Working Group 2007).”
• Spatio-temporal foraging patterns of a giant zooplanktivore, the leatherback turtle (2010, background): “Most of the migrating tracks previously described for leatherbacks in the North Atlantic (Ferraroli et al., 2004; James et al., 2005; Eckert, 2006) can be classified in one of the three strategies we defined in this study.”
• Why do Argos satellite tags deployed on marine animals stop transmitting (2007, background): “Eckert, 2006 ), although tracking data can still provide useful information about mortality hotspots and help direct conservation efforts (Hays et al., 2003; Bradshaw 2005; James et al., 2005b).”
