“…The estimated trophic levels for H. guttatus (SIA = 3.33 ± 1.09, SCA = 3.55; Table 3) and H. marianae (SIA = 3.19 ± 0.71, SCA = 3.61; Table 3) characterize these species as mesopredators, within the expected range (3.16–4.08) for Dasyatidae stingrays (Jacobsen & Bennett, 2012; Tilley et al ., 2013). Similar results have been reported for other Myliobatiformes such as Urotrygon rogersi (Jordan & Starks, 1895) in Colombia (3.5; Navia et al ., 2016), Urotrygon microphthalmum Delsman 1941 in Pernambuco (3.5; Santander‐Neto et al ., 2021), Hypanus americanus (Hildebrand & Schroeder, 1928) in the Caribbean (3.52; Tilley et al ., 2013), Neotrygon kuhlii (Müller & Henle, 1841), Neotrygon annotata (Last, 1987) and Neotrygon picta Last & White 2008 in Australia (3.58, 3.57 and 3.55, respectively; Jacobsen & Bennett, 2012). This is driven primarily by their consumption of benthic and epibenthic macroinvertebrates such as crustaceans, molluscs and polychaetes, but including some teleost fishes.…”
