Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “…more recent tracking has shown adult females from western Atlantic stocks nesting in French Guiana and Suriname (Ferraroli et al. 2004), Grenada (Hays et al. 2004c), the USA (Eckert et al. 2006) and Trinidad (Eckert 2006) disperse widely throughout the north Atlantic, often using the productive…”
Identifying and comparing phases of movement by leatherback turtles using state-space models (2008, background): “Confirmation of this could be provided by analysing the diving data from the tags (Hays et al., 2004a).”
What makes marine turtles go: A review of metabolic rates and their consequences (2008, methodology): “Likewise, post-nesting leatherbacks also routinely dive within the cADL range of Wallace et al. (2005) during longdistance migrations and while on foraging grounds (Hays et al., 2004a; James et al., 2005; Bradshaw et al., 2007).”
Extrinsic and intrinsic determinants of winter foraging and breeding phenology in a temperate seabird (2005, background): “Until now, it has not been possible to examine this interaction, but the recent development of miniaturised data loggers which large species can carry for extended periods (e.g. Bradshaw et al. 2004; Hays et al. 2004; Croxall et al. 2005) provide daily measures of key currencies of foraging performa”
Why do Argos satellite tags deployed on marine animals stop transmitting (2007, methodology): “Consequently, datasets that could once only be collected with data-loggers requiring physical recovery for data download (e.g. dive profiles and temperature-depth profiles) can now be relayed via satellite (e.g. Fedak et al., 2002; Hays et al., 2004; Sims et al., 2003; James et al., 2006).”
Migratory and reproductive movements of male leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) (2005, background): “Locations classified as ‘‘A’’ and ‘‘B’’ are not categorized for positional accuracy by Argos; however, LC A locations have recently been shown to be as accurate as LC 1 locations and more accurate than LC 0 locations ( Hays et al. 2001; Vincent et al. 2002).”
Predation on pelagic coelenterates: a review (2005, background): “Leatherbacks can also dive to at least 500 m and spend much of their time submerged (Eckert et al., 1989; Southwood et al., 1999; Hays et al., 2004).”
Bottom or midwater: alternative foraging behaviours in adult female loggerhead sea turtles (2007, background): “…behaviour of sea turtles to be observed in remote locations far from land during nonnesting periods (Godley et al., 2002; Polovina et al., 2003; Hays et al., 2004a; James, Myers & Ottensmeyer, 2005; Eckert, 2006; Hatase et al., 2006; Hawkes et al., 2006; Sale et al., 2006; Swimmer et al.,…”
Novel GPS tracking of sea turtles as a tool for conservation management (2007, background): “…different to previous and successive fixes within the same timeframe, (2) using a maximum rate of travel of 5 km h− 1 between successive locations (Hays et al., 2004a; Tremblay et al., 2006) which was selected based on calculations from 3 or more consecutive fixes occurring at 10–20 min…”
