- The biology and ecology of the ocean sunfish Mola mola: a review of current knowledge and future research perspectives (2009, background): “1999) and bycatch estimates from the Californian swordfish fishery suggest ocean sunfish make up 29% of all bycatch; far outnumbering the target species (Cartamil and Lowe 2004).”
- Prying into the intimate details of animal lives: use of a daily diary on animals (2008, background): “Thus, collection of a suite of important biological variables, such as would occur in a generic tag of the type proposed here, is likely to help assess the utility of possible conservation measures (e.g. Cartamil & Lowe 2004, Fowler & Costa 2006).”
- Yo-yo vertical movements suggest a foraging strategy for tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier (2011, background): “Similarly, ectothermal blue sharks and ocean sunfish remain in warm surface waters after excursions to cold, deep water (Carey & Scharold 1990, Cartamil & Lowe 2004).”
- Satellite tracking of the World's largest bony fish, the ocean sunfish (Mola mola L.) in the North East Atlantic (2009, background): “To date there have been a few successful biotelemetry and biologging studies that have recorded the movement and diving behaviour of ocean sunfish ( Cartamil and Lowe, 2004; Watanabe and Sato, 2008).”
- Elevated body temperatures of adult female leopard sharks, Triakis semifasciata, while aggregating in shallow nearshore embayments: Evidence for behavioral thermoregulation? (2007, result): “Similar observations have been made for ectothermic teleosts, such as the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), which was observed to spend longer periods of time at the surface after prolonged dives through the thermocline (Cartamil and Lowe 2004).”
- Diel and tidal rhythms in diving behaviour of pelagic sharks identified by signal processing of archival tagging data (2006, background): “It is uncertain why the rate of descent was significantly greater than the rate of ascent in the other sharks, particularly given the variability of this relationship across pelagic planktivores (Cartamil & Lowe 2004, Graham et al. 2006).”
