• A novel method for identifying behavioural changes in animal movement data. (2009, methodology): “…rapidly growing body of work devoted to the detailed study of free-ranging animal movements in the wild, reflecting the increase in the technological ability to accumulate data (Ferguson et al. 1998; Heide-Jørgensen et al. 2003; Block et al. 2005; RopertCoudert & Wilson 2005; Andrews et al. 2008).”
• The European eel (Anguilla anguilla, Linnaeus), its Lifecycle, Evolution and Reproduction: A Literature Review (2005, background): “However, although useful for small demersal fish such as plaice and cod (e.g. Metcalfe and Arnold 1997) and large pelagic fish such as bluefin tuna (e.g. Block et al. 2005), archival tags are of little or no use for species, such as eels, where recapture rates or low or non-existent.”
• Skipped Spawning in Fishes: More Common than You Might Think (2011, background): “For example, the western Atlantic population of bluefin tuna is thought to spawn in the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida from April to July, but adult-sized individuals have been reported to occur in the central Atlantic Ocean and elsewhere during this period (Lutcavage et al. 1999; Block e”
• Southern elephant seal trajectories, fronts and eddies in the Brazil/Malvinas Confluence (2006, background): “Large ocean areas have been probed in situ using as cost-effective sampler stations several species of pelagic predators such as giant blue fin tuna (Block et al., 2001, 2005), several species of penguins (e.g., Charrassin et al., 2002; Wilson et al., 2005; Sokolov et al., 2006), sea turtles (e.g.,…”
• Movement and behaviour of large southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) in the Australian region determined using pop‐up satellite archival tags (2008, methodology): “Daily movement rates and the scale of this migration are consistent with those observed in other Thunnus species (Mather et al., 1995; Block et al., 2001, 2005).”
• Geographically and environmentally driven spawning distributions of tuna species in the western Mediterranean Sea (2012, background): “Part of the population of the large migratory Atlantic bluefin tuna comes from the Atlantic and crosses the Strait of Gibraltar to reach the Balearic Islands to spawn (Block et al. 2005, Rooker et al. 2008).”
• Identifying leatherback turtle foraging behaviour from satellite telemetry using a switching state-space model (2007, neutral): “Electronic tracking of marine predators has revealed a wealth of information on patterns of distribution and habitat use (Block et al. 2005), migratory patterns (Block et al. 2001), and foraging ecology (Sale et al. 2006).”
• Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, methodology): “The elaboration of an ever increasing array of tracking technologies has transformed this field of study (Block 2005, Block et al. 2005), with satellite tracking using the Argos system (Argos 1996) having become particularly prevalent in recent decades (Gillespie 2001).”
• Prey landscapes help identify potential foraging habitats for leatherback turtles in the NE Atlantic (2007, background): “Movement studies using electronic tagging have offered significant insights into the selected habitats of fish (Sims et al. 2003, Block et al. 2005), reptiles (James et al. 2005a, Eckert 2006) and birds (Croxall et al. 2005).”
• Tagging and tracking of marine animals with electronic devices (2009, background): “…but after a decade, there are limited examples of application of electronic tagging data to stock assessment, fisheries management, and conservation (see however Block et al., 2001, 2005; Graves et al., 2002; Kerstetter et al., 2003; Luo et al., 2004; Sibert et al., 2006; Seitz et al., 2007).”
• A review of shark satellite tagging studies (2011, methodology): “The level of mixing estimated from the tracking studies was higher than previously assumed by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) stock assessment models, which were used in setting management quotas for the tuna that resulted in overfishing (Block et al., 200”
• Thermal niche of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima (2010, background): “…shocks were also experienced by cod in the Baltic Sea and Skagerrak and, in extreme cases, led to some cod experiencing daily thermal ranges greater than 10°C and up to 13°C, which is similar to or greater than the temperature ranges reported for deep-diving oceanic predators (Block et al. 2005).”
• Aquatic animal telemetry: A panoramic window into the underwater world (2015, background): “This has revealed the intricacies and previously unanticipated complexity of migratory paths of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) (22), unsuspected transoceanic migrations of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) (Fig.”
