Dynamic ensemble models to predict distributions and anthropogenic risk exposure for highly mobile species (2019, background): “While in the CCE, blue whales follow the spring and summertime progression of the availability of krill (Abrahms et al., 2019), their primary prey, and demonstrate temporal synchrony with krill availability (Croll et al. 2005; Fossette et al. 2017).”
Marine top predators as climate and ecosystem sentinels (2019, background): “Changes in the distribution and migration phenology of specialist foragers such as blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) can indicate relative changes in the distribution and abundance of prey populations (Croll et al. 2005; Piatt et al. 2007).”
Predictable hotspots and foraging habitat of the endangered short-tailed albatross (Phoebastria albatrus) in the North Pacific: Implications for conservation (2006, background): “Similarly, the Monterey Bay canyon is well known for its strong upwelling and localized coastal productivity (Croll et al., 2005) and short-tailed albatross were historically viewed commonly there from shore (Loomis, 1918).”
Movement and diving behavior of male California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) during anomalous oceanographic conditions of 2005 compared to those of 2004 (2006, background): “[2] Distribution, abundance, and behavior of top marine predators are related to oceanographic features, primary productivity, and distribution and abundance of prey [Guinet et al., 2001; Croll et al., 2005; Crocker et al., 2006].”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “For example, upwelling circulation along the eastern margins of the world’s ocean basins brings nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to nearshore surface waters, fueling high levels of primary production that form the base of species-rich and productive nearshore food webs [80,81].”
Fine-scale prey aggregations and foraging ecology of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (2009, background): “To date, Croll et al. (1998, 2005) and Baumgartner et al. (2003) have completed some of the most integrated studies of individual baleen whale fine-scale foraging ecology.”
From monsoons to mantas: seasonal distribution of Manta alfredi in the Maldives (2011, background): “As with other large marine planktivores (Sims and Quayle, 1998; Croll et al., 2005), it is likely that mantas actively seek out and congregate in areas of high zooplankton abundance.”
Prey density and distribution drive the three‐dimensional foraging strategies of the largest filter feeder (2015, background): “Functional Ecology © 2014 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 29, 951–961 determines the depth where foraging occurs (Croll et al. 2005).”
Comparative feeding ecology of four sympatric skate species off central California, USA (2007, neutral): “headward parts of submarine canyons (Croll et al. 2005).”
Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, background): “Ecography 30:609–628 Dubois DM (1975) A model of patchiness for prey–predator plankton populations. Ecol Model 1:67–80 Ducet N, Le Traon PY, Reverdin G (2000) Global high-resolution mapping of ocean circulation from TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-1 and -2.”
Predicting cetacean abundance and distribution in a changing climate (2018, background): “For example, in the CCE, blue whales feed exclu‐ sively on euphausiids such as the krill species Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera (Croll et al., 2005; Fiedler et al., 1998).”
Influence of thermal fronts on habitat selection by four rorqual whale species in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (2007, background): “…distribution include sea surface temperature (SST), distance to shore, and underwater topography (e.g. Hoelzel et al. 1989, Woodley & Gaskin 1996) but the mechanisms linking these variables to patterns of habitat selection have begun to be investigated only recently (e.g. Croll et al. 2005).”
