• The potential for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to conduct marine fauna surveys in place of manned aircraft (2018, background): “Surveys instead are usually conducted in sea-state conditions of Beaufort< 3, and timed to reduce sun reflectance of glare and “sun glitter” off the water surface (Rowat et al., 2009; Alves et al., 2013; Westgate et al., 2014).”
• Ocean‐scale prediction of whale shark distribution (2012, background): “In the past, occurrence data for whale sharks have been collected at spatial scales that constitute only a small part of the animal’s range, usually within coastal waters where nearshore aggregations form (Beckley et al., 1997; Meekan et al., 2006; Graham & Roberts, 2007; Jonahson & Harding, 2007; R”
