• Estimating space‐use and habitat preference from wildlife telemetry data (2008, background): “For example, in grey seals the results of physiological experiments might be used to construct energetic models of the cost of travelling to particular depths or distances from the haulout (Thompson and Fedak 2001).”
• First records of oceanic dive profiles for leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, indicate behavioural plasticity associated with long-distance migration (2004, unknown): “…moved into the Atlantic provides strong support for the theoretical predictions that divers will extend dives when in areas where the foraging success is higher (Thompson & Fedak 2001), and our results highlight the suitability of leatherback turtles for testing such models of dive performance.”
• An application of optimal diving models to diving behaviour of Brünnich's guillemots (2002, background): “Many authors have presented optimal diving models that predict optimal organization of diving behaviour in foraging divers (Kramer 1988; Wilson & Wilson 1988; Ydenberg & Clark 1989; Houston & Carbone 1992; Carbone & Houston 1996; Mori 1998a, b, 1999; Walton et al. 1998; Thompson & Fedak 2001).”
• A review of the effects of seismic surveys on marine mammals (2003, unknown): “It is possible for muscles to re-spire for short periods without oxygen (anaerobically) but this incurs an ‘oxygen debt’ which is expensive to ‘repay’ both in terms of energetic and time budgets (Fedak & Thompson, 1993; Thompson & Fedak, 2001).”
• Extreme diel variation in the feeding behavior of humpback whales along the western Antarctic Peninsula during autumn (2013, background): “Optimal foraging theory suggests that the energetic costs of accessing prey by air-breathing predators scale with the depth of prey, so the whales should behave in ways such that the energy obtained per dive increases with feeding depth (Mori 1998, Thompson & Fedak 2001).”
• What makes marine turtles go: A review of metabolic rates and their consequences (2008, background): “Internesting leatherbacks rarely approach the FMR-derived maximum cADL (44 min) (Eckert, 2002a; Southwood et al., 1999; Wallace et al., 2005), suggesting that prey availability off nesting beaches is low and turtles are not actively foraging (Thompson and Fedak, 2001; Hays et al., 2004a).”
