• Unravelling the mysteries of a mesopelagic diet: a large apex predator specializes on small prey (2013, background): “A variety of approaches have been used to determine where marine vertebrates are foraging, including dive shape, changes in swim speed, jaw motion and or surface movements (Fauchald & Tveraa 2006; Biuw et al. 2007; Liebsch et al. 2007; Bailleul et al. 2008; Suzuki et al.2009; Fossette et al. 2010; N”
• Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, background): “…partnerships that have allowed assessment of the spatial distribution of populations over entire ocean basins, such as for leatherback turtles in the Atlantic, where it has been revealed how individuals target productive areas for foraging (Fossette et al. 2010, 2014, Benson et al. 2011).”
• Basking sharks and oceanographic fronts: quantifying associations in the north‐east Atlantic (2015, background): “Moreover, zooplanktivorous megavertebrates such as the basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus; whale shark, Rhincodon typus; leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea; and manta ray, Manta birostris exist on an energetic ‘knife-edge’, and so must maximize prey encounter rates in patchy pelagic prey seasca”
• On the global estimates of geostrophic and Ekman surface currents (2013, background): “2011) and to understand spatiotemporal foraging (Fossette et al. 2010).”
• Global patterns for upper ceilings on migration distance in sea turtles and comparisons with fish, birds and mammals (2013, background): “Unlike Cheloniidae species, adult leatherbacks do not migrate to discrete foraging sites where they remain for long periods, but instead they continue to travel throughout the interval between breeding seasons (e.g. Fossette et al. 2010).”
