Abstract:Many migratory coastal shark species enter temperate estuaries seasonally, tracking suitable environmental conditions (i.e. temperature) and food resources. Understanding the functional role that migratory sharks play in coastal food webs depends on information regarding the distinctness among predators’ trophic ecology. We examined the trophic ecology of 4 species of coastal sharks (Atlantic sharpnose, n = 22; bonnethead, n = 29; blacktip, n = 8; blacknose, n = 28) that migrate into temperate coastal ecosyste… Show more
