- The accuracy of Fastloc‐GPS locations and implications for animal tracking (2014, methodology): “This type of filtering is typically reported in manuscripts describing Fastloc-GPS results and often done automatically by manufacturers (Sirtrack 2010; Witt et al. 2010; Shimada et al. 2012).”
- Satellite Tracking Sea Turtles: Opportunities and Challenges to Address Key Questions (2018, background): “It provides locations accurate to within a few hundreds of meters and up to several km from the true location of the transmitter (Witt et al., 2010), a resolution that may often suffice for describing broad scale migrations, but may be too poor to accurately describe localized movements, e.”
- Earth observation satellite sensors for biodiversity monitoring: potentials and bottlenecks (2014, background): “In this way, animal movements and migration routes can be tracked (Kranstauber et al. 2011; Witt et al. 2010; Buerkert and Schlecht 2009; Hughes et al. 1998; Papi et al. 1997).”
- Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, methodology): “Recent development in biologging tools, including the use of telemetry tags incorporating GPS [e.g. Fastloc, Costa et al., 2010; Witt et al., 2010b), as well as archival GPS devices (Schofield et al., 2010a,b)], will facilitate this process and would help to identify core areas of occupation and…”
- Moderating Argos location errors in animal tracking data (2012, background): “In animal tracking studies, it is common for the majority of locations to be comprised of lower-quality LCs: 0, A, B or Z (Le Boeuf et al. 2000; Austin, McMillan & Bowen 2003; Soutullo et al. 2007; Freitas et al. 2008;Witt et al. 2010).”
- Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, methodology): “Locations that were used for assessing movements were taken from Argos Location Classes 3, 2, 1, A and B (shown to be the most accurate locations; Witt et al. 2010) and filtered to remove locations which required unlikely swimming speeds (5 km h–1; see Luschi et al. 1998), turning behaviour (<25°…”
- Global analysis of satellite tracking data shows that adult green turtles are significantly aggregated in Marine Protected Areas (2012, background): “Although limitations in position accuracy and frequency make it difficult to interpret fine-scale behaviour (Witt et al., 2010), concurrent GPS tracking has shown that locations of foraging areas are robust.”
