Circumpolar habitat use in the southern elephant seal: implications for foraging success and population trajectories (2016, background): “However, the degree to which eddies are important in the overall energy budget of predators is yet to be quantified (Bailleul et al. 2010).”
Movements and habitat use of reef manta rays off eastern Australia: offshore excursions, deep diving and eddy affinity revealed by satellite telemetry (2014, background): “…and corroborate several other studies that showed the importance of mesoscale eddies as offshore foraging grounds for a variety of marine species (e.g. seabirds: Weimers - kirch et al. 2004, Cotté et al. 2007; pinnipeds: Bailleul et al. 2010, Dragon et al. 2010; cetaceans: Woodworth et al. 2012).”

A biologist's guide to assessing ocean currents: a review (2012, methodology): “…birds or marine mammals, may allow inferences of how environmental factors contribute to the animal’s movement and behaviour (e.g. Sakamoto et al. 1997, Nichols et al. 2000, Hatase et al. 2002, Luschi et al. 2003a, Gaspar et al. 2006, Cotté et al. 2007, Seminoff et al. 2008, Bailleul et al. 2010).”
