The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Predicting cetacean abundance and distribution in a changing climate (2018, background): “…these large mi‐ grators return to the same largely coastal foraging grounds every season, perhaps due to learned behaviour and/or the persistence of trophic hotspots (Baker et al., 2013; Barlow, Calambokidis, et al., 2011; Calambokidis et al., 2008, 2015; Irvine et al., 2014; Santora et al., 2017).”
Philopatry and Regional Connectivity of the Great Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna mokarran in the U.S. and Bahamas (2017, unknown): “…to parturition sites and whether there is an absence of female-mediated gene ﬂow, which has consequences for stock management as discussed for other marine species, including sharks (Mourier and Planes, 2013; Ashe et al., 2015) cetaceans (Baker et al., 2013) and pinnipeds (Lopes et al., 2015).”
Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “Besides those in the Arabian Sea, the humpback whales in greatest need of assessment are in the western North Pacific (west of 180 ) (Brownell et al. 2010, Baker et al. 2013) and eastern North Atlantic (IWC 2002).”
