Comparisons between the diets of four abundant species of elasmobranchs in a subtropical embayment: implications for resource partitioning (2004, background): “In contrast, carcharhinids rely mainly on ram feeding, whereby fast swimming is used to attack and ingest their prey (Moss 1972; Motta et al. 1997; Motta and Wilga 2001).”
Unravelling the ecological role and trophic relationships of uncommon and threatened elasmobranchs in the western Mediterranean Sea (2015, background): “Usually, when resources are shared in a restricted environment, species will adapt and modify their feeding behaviour to coexist in the same area (Lowe 236 Barría et al.: Ecological role of Mediterranean elasmobranchs et al. 1996, Heithaus 2001, Motta & Wilga 2001, Dean et al. 2007).”
Effects of body size, age and maturity stage on diet in a large shark: ecological and applied implications (2008, background): “2006) and variation in prey capture kinematics with shark size (Motta and Wilga 2001).”
A comparison of strike and prey capture kinematics of three species of piscivorous fishes: Florida gar (Lepisosteus platyrhincus), redfin needlefish (Strongylura notata), and great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) (2004, background): “After capturing the prey between the jaws, many shark species shake their heads, effectively cutting the prey to pieces with their teeth (Motta et al. 1997; Wilga and Motta 1998; Motta and Wilga 2001 ).”
Kinematic Analysis of Suction Feeding in the Nurse Shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum (Orectolobiformes, Ginglymostomatidae) (2002, background): “…Caribbean reef shark Carcharhinus perezi, blacknose Carcharhinus acronotus, blacktip Carcharhinus limbatus, and N. brevirostris show considerable variation in the timing and extent of upper jaw protrusion during food capture (Frazzetta and Prange, 1987; Motta et al., 1997; Motta and Wilga, 2001).”
