• Young sea turtles of the pelagic Sargassum-dominated drift community: habitat use, population density, and threats (2012, background): “These records allow inference on generalized trophic links between young sea turtles and forage organisms (Tomas et al. 2001, Reich et al. 2007, Arthur et al. 2008).”
• Feeding ecology of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Galapagos Islands (2010, background): “Ontogenetic habitat shift has been also suggested to occur with loggerhead (Caretta caretta) (Tomas et al., 2001) and Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) turtles (Schmid et al., 2003) which may be a strategy that confers an advantage for turtles to increase growth rates (Bjorndal et al., 2000) and…”

• Bycatch of loggerhead sea turtles: insights from 14 years of stranding data (2008, background): “This is supported by the importance of pelagic feeding in large juvenile loggerhead revealed in dietary studies in the western Mediterranean (Tomás et al. 2001, Revelles et al. 2007b).”
• Foraging ecology of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta in the central Mediterranean Sea: evidence for a relaxed life history model (2008, background): “All these findings confirm and support the opportunistic foraging strategy of loggerhead turtles reported by previous studies in other areas (e.g. Tomas et al. 2001).”
• Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “In some areas, they may also consume large amounts of fish discarded by fishing vessels (Houghton et al. 2000, Tomás et al. 2001).”
• Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research (2016, background): “…undergo an ontogenetic shift in feeding behaviour where they may switch to benthic foraging in neritic areas (although some populations forage pelagically even in larger size classes; Tomás et al., 2001; Witherington, 2002; Hawkes et al., 2006; Arthur et al., 2008; Schuyler et al., 2012).”
