- Nursery habitat use and foraging ecology of the brown stingray Dasyatis lata determined from stomach contents, bulk and amino acid stable isotopes (2011, unknown): “A TP of 3.7 was estimated for marbled stingrays Dasyatis marmorata from the Mediterranean Sea and skates primarily feeding on decapods had TPs ranging from 3.5 to 3.9, values similar to those observed in this study (Stergiou & Karpouzi 2002, Ebert & Bizzarro 2007).”
- Unravelling the ecological role and trophic relationships of uncommon and threatened elasmobranchs in the western Mediterranean Sea (2015, result): “In contrast to sharks, the skates analysed in the present study (Rajiformes) feed principally on crustaceans, which is consistent with Ebert & Bizzarro (2007), who showed that skates are epibenthic predators specializing on invertebrates.”
- Dietary Niche Overlap in a Nearshore Elasmobranch Mesopredator Community (2011, methodology): “The number of trophic transfers between resource pools and elasmobranchs was estimated by calculating a standardized trophic level for each species with diet data as described by Ebert & Bizzarro (2007).”
- Breaking with tradition: redefining measures for diet description with a case study of the Aleutian skate Bathyraja aleutica (Gilbert 1896) (2011, background): “Skates as abundant mesopredators (Ebert and Bizzarro 2007) likely play important trophic roles in demersal fish communities and may be able to overtake the resource niche left open by depleted teleost stocks (Stevens et al.”
