• Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, background): “Although lightbased geolocation cannot provide useable latitude estimates around the equinoxes, some loggers also record temperature, which in combination with remotely sensed SST data can improve accuracy (Teo et al. 2004, Shaffer et al. 2005).”
• Annual migrations, diving behavior, and thermal biology of Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, on their Gulf of Mexico breeding grounds (2007, methodology): “Teo et al. (2004) provided a detailed explanation and analysis of the latitude estimation algorithm.”
• Atlantic bluefin tuna: population dynamics, ecology, fisheries and management (2005, background): “same magnitude of error becomes excessive when correlating movements with fine-scale oceanographic events (Sibert et al. 2003; Teo et al. 2004; Royer et al. 2005); 3) tag”
• Movements, behavior and habitat preferences of juvenile white sharks Carcharodon carcharias in the eastern Pacific (2007, methodology): “As in the validation study of Teo et al. (2004), longitude errors for juvenile white sharks are smaller than latitude errors.”
• Migration and habitat of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (2007, methodology): “Teo et al. (2004) estimated the root mean square (RMS) error of light-based longitude to be within 0.89 (cid:2) , and the RMS error of SST-based latitude to be within 1.54 (cid:2) , for double tagging experiments (PAT and SPOT) on salmon sharks and blue sharks.”
• State-space models for bio-loggers: A methodological road map (2013, background): “Instead, tag-based measurements of SST(7) are reported as a proxy for latitude (Nielsen et al., 2006; Teo et al., 2004), requiring a georeferenced database of synoptic SST to link the tag-based SST measurements to possible latitudes.”
• Satellite tagging of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) and other pelagic sharks off eastern Australia: depth behaviour, temperature experience and movements (2010, unknown): “We compared the daily geolocation longitudes derived from the PAT archive using Wildlife Computers GPE program with the average daily longitude from the satellite tag, only using location classes ¸ 1 (Teo et al. 2004).”
• Perspectives in Ornithology: Application of tracking and data-logging technology in research and conservation of seabirds (2009, unknown): “Adding temperature sensors to the GLS tag can improve location accuracy by using latitudinally stratified sea-surface temperatures to refine location estimates (1–2° error reduction; Teo et al. 2004, Shaffer et al. 2005).”
• The Use of Electronic Tags in Fish Research - An Overview of Fish Telemetry Methods (2013, methodology): “However, these geolocation methods have some limitations (Ekstrom, 2004; Teo et al., 2004; Chittenden et al., 2013b).”
• The European eel (Anguilla anguilla, Linnaeus), its Lifecycle, Evolution and Reproduction: A Literature Review (2005, methodology): “Temperature and pressure sensors provide information about the vertical movements of the fish in relation to the thermal structure of the water column and horizontal movements can be reconstructed using lightbased geolocation techniques (e.g. Hill 1994; Arnold and Dewar 2001; Ekstrom 2004; Stokesbur”
• Movement of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) as determined by satellite tagging experiments initiated off New England (2004, methodology): “The accuracy of these geolocation estimates was determined by comparing endpoint positions from pop-up satellite tags and global positioning system (GPS) with geolocation estimates based on light level longitude and SST latitude (Teo et al. 2004).”
• Comparison of light- and SST-based geolocation with satellite telemetry in free-ranging albatrosses (2005, methodology): “Similar results were also observed in validation experiments on sharks and tunas (Teo et al. 2004).”
• Movements, behavior, and habitat utilization of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, ascertained through archival tag data (2007, methodology): “…and latitudes (Hill 1994; Hill and Braun 2001; Ekstrom 2004), and daily sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) recorded by the tags matched to SSTs from remote sensing can be used to significantly improve estimates of latitude (Teo et al. 2004; Clear et al. 2005; Domeier et al. 2005; Nielsen et al. 2006).”
• Life History and Stock Structure of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) (2007, background): “Alternatively, electronic tags record ambient light level, water and/or body temperature, and pressure at frequent intervals throughout the deployment duration, which allows for estimation of position in association with diving behavior and thermal physiology ( Teo et al, 2004 ; Block et al, 2005 )”
