Tractable models for testing theories about natural strategies: foraging behaviour and habitat selection of free‐ranging sharks (2003, background): “The advent of video-camera tags (Heithaus et al., 2001; Hooker et al., 2002) combined with conventional positional transmitters deployed on plankton-feeding sharks may provide the means to conduct a field test of competitive interference through quantification of changes in the prey fields through t”
Prey-dependent foraging tactics and prey profitability in a marine mammal (2002, background): “Animal-borne video has been recently used to investigate the foraging ecology and habitat use of several species of pinnipeds, penguins and sharks (Davis et al. 1999, Parrish et al. 2000, Ponganis et al. 2000, Heithaus et al. 2001).”
Action Cameras: Bringing Aquatic and Fisheries Research into View (2015, methodology): “Johansen et al. (2014) used ACs to determine how warming water temperatures would affect fish movement and activity response on coral reefs.”
Ontogeny in marine tagging and tracking science: technologies and data gaps (2012, background): “Low-light cameras, which 223 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 457: 221–240, 2012 archive still or video images even in low-photic regions, can further improve our understanding of underwater movements, and calibrate behaviors to changes in acceleration data (Heithaus et al. 2001, Gómez Laich et al. 2009).”
Yo-yo vertical movements suggest a foraging strategy for tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier (2011, background): “Fortunately the development of animal-borne image recorders has provided useful new tools for obtaining visual information about foraging behaviors (Marshall 1998, Heithaus et al. 2001, 2002, Watanabe et al. 2003, 2004).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, background): “…bait-loss rates to teleosts (especially the northwest blowfish, Lagocephalus sceleratus) in shallow habitats were so high that we had to turn to the use of acoustic tracking and animal-borne imaging (Heithaus et al. 2001, 2002a, 2006) to elucidate the habitat use preferences of the tiger shark.”
Behaviour analysis of the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta from direct in-water observation (2006, background): “Studies, comparing direct and indirect methodologies of animal behaviour, have shown that remote-sensing data can distinguish between active and inactive states, however it cannot reliably distinguish the different behaviour patterns within those states (Hansen et al. 1992, Heithaus et al. 2001).”
Long-term movements of tiger sharks satellite-tagged in Shark Bay, Western Australia (2007, background): “It is unlikely that the antennas of transmitters on tiger sharks were lost by rubbing because no sharks (n = 44) Wtted with animal-borne video cameras attempted to remove these much larger devices (Heithaus et al. 2001, 2002).”
