Diel and tidal rhythms in diving behaviour of pelagic sharks identified by signal processing of archival tagging data (2006, background): “DVM has also been identified subjectively in short, isolated portions of 4 archival tracks to date (Sims et al. 2005).”
Movements and foraging of predators associated with mesophotic coral reefs and their potential for linking ecological habitats (2015, background): “Regular diel vertical movements often consist of fishes using deeper habitats during daytime and shallower habitats at night, although there are many cases where the reverse behavior is seen (Sims et al. 2005, 2006, Chapman et al. 2007, Andrews et al. 2009).”
Pelagic habitat characterization of loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta, in the North Pacific Ocean (1997–2006): Insights from satellite tag tracking and remotely sensed data (2008, background): “The subsurface aspect of pelagic habitat will also be investigated, since pelagic diving behavior is common (Polovina et al., 2003), and diving behavior can be a critical component of habitat selection behavior in pelagic organisms (e.g., Sims et al., 2005; Sale et al., 2006).”
Basking sharks and oceanographic fronts: quantifying associations in the north‐east Atlantic (2015, background): “waters of the region in summer, when sharks frequently feed at the surface and occasionally dive to the sea bottom (Sims et al. 2005), and so are at their most vulnerable to deleterious anthropogenic interactions (e.”
Spatio-temporal foraging patterns of a giant zooplanktivore, the leatherback turtle (2010, background): “basking shark Cetorhinus maximus (Sims et al., 2005) and likely reflects the distribution of their prey in the water column.”
Ocean‐scale prediction of whale shark distribution (2012, background): “The filtering effects of zooplankton on algae (sensu Runge, 1998) suggest that direct measurements of zooplankton abundance would provide a much better predictor of whale shark distribution than Chl a per se, which appears to be the case for filter-feeding basking sharks (Sims et al., 2005).”
Why do Argos satellite tags deployed on marine animals stop transmitting (2007, background): “…and a large increase in our knowledge of long-distance movements of reptiles (e.g. Luschi et al., 2001, 2003; James et al., 2005b, 2006), fish (e.g. Sims et al., 2005; Weng et al., 2005), birds (e.g. Nel et al., 2001; Phillips et al., 2006) and mammals (e.g. Burns et al., 2004; Bradshaw et al.,…”
Satellite tracking of the World's largest bony fish, the ocean sunfish (Mola mola L.) in the North East Atlantic (2009, background): “Similar conclusions have been reached for megamouth sharks andbasking sharks over at least shorter termperiods of several days to weeks (Nelson et al., 1997; Sims et al., 2005).”
Aggregations of juvenile whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in the Gulf of Tadjoura, Djibouti (2007, background): “Studies in the temperate Irish Sea have shown that the large planktivorous basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus, also spends more time at the surface during the day in coastal waters (Sims et al. 2005).”
Patterns of jellyfish abundance in the North Atlantic (2008, methodology): “The CPR data-set can, therefore, potentially be used to explain the drivers behind spatio-temporal variations in behaviour of planktivores (e.g. Sims et al., 2005).”
Thermal niche, large‐scale movements and implications of climate change for a critically endangered marine vertebrate (2006, background): “Indeed, even with small sample sizes, informative studies of the physiological ecology of planktivorous vertebrates are now starting to be made (Sims et al., 2005).”
Satellite tagging of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) and other pelagic sharks off eastern Australia: depth behaviour, temperature experience and movements (2010, unknown): “Analysis of high resolution vertical movement data from archival tags has identi W ed di V erent behavioural components including reverse diel migrations in other pelagic sharks (Sims et al. 2005; Graham et al. 2006; Pade et al. 2009).”
Characteristics of a manta ray Manta alfredi population off Maui, Hawaii, and implications for management (2011, background): “Planktivorous elasmobranchs such as basking sharks Cetorhinus maximus and whale sharks Rhin co don typus can take advantage of these predictable diel trends by resting more during the day and foraging more at night when the plankton moves closer to the surface (Sims et al. 2005, Rowat et al. 2007).”
