Sub-surface hotspots in shallow seas: fine-scale limited locations of top predator foraging habitat indicated by tidal mixing and sub-surface chlorophyll (2010, background): “…to be important in determining top predator distributions at much larger spatial (~100 km) and temporal scales (Genin 2004, Yen et al. 2004, Bakun 2006, Ballance et al. 2006), and may help to explain why others have found an absence of scale dependence for dolphin habitat (Redfern et al. 2008).”
To go or not to go with the flow: Environmental influences on whale shark movement patterns (2010, background): “It has been hypothesized that many migratory marine animals including birds, cetaceans (Ballance et al., 2006), turtles (Polovina et al., 2000, 2004; Luschi et al., 2003; Gaspar et al., 2006; Lambardi et al., 2008; Shillinger et al., 2008) and sharks (Montgomery and Walker, 2001; Sims et al., 2003)…”
Habitat preference, accessibility, and competition limit the global distribution of breeding Black-browed Albatrosses (2011, background): “…data collected by ship-based surveys can provide insights into the spatial ecology of these animals (e.g., Hunt et al. 1996, Spear et al. 2001, Ballance et al. 2006, Louzao et al. 2006) such Eulerian studies are limited because they tend to provide only partial spatial and temporal coverage…”
Oceanographic characteristics of areas used by Cory’s shearwaters during short and long foraging trips in the North Atlantic (2010, background): “poral scale (Hunt 1997; Ballance et al. 2006; Amorim et al. 2009).”
Observed and predicted effects of climate on Australian seabirds (2011, background): “…true in the Coral Sea region where depth of the 20 C thermocline can exceed 200m (Devney et al. 2009a) (compared with depths of 20–40m in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean; Ballance et al. 2006), and most tropical pelagic seabirds are wholly reliant on subsurface predators such as tuna Table 1.”
Using habitat models to identify suitable sites for marine protected areas for harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) (2010, background): “The fitted relationships between detection rate and environmental variables may thus reflect more than the use of foraging habitat (Ballance et al., 2006).”
