• Food habits and ontogenetic changes in the diet of the sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, in Hawaii (2006, background): “These factors have all been cited as potential contributors to ontogenetic change in other shark species (Wetherbee et al. 1990; Cortés and Gruber 1990; Lowe et al. 1996; Simpfendorfer et al. 2001; Alonso et al. 2002; Wetherbee and Cortés 2004).”
• Ecological importance of sharks and rays in a structural foodweb analysis in southern Brazil (2014, background): “Elasmobranchs, like invertebrates, are closely connected with several species in the foodweb; as opportunistic predators with a wide trophic spectrum (Wetherbee et al., 2012), they are naturally linked to a wide variety of prey species.”
• Topological analysis of the ecological importance of elasmobranch fishes: A food web study on the Gulf of Tortugas, Colombia (2010, background): “Despite the supposed importance of elasmobranchs in marine trophic network interactions (Stevens et al., 2000; Wetherbee and Cortés, 2004), there are very few studies that have assessed the effect of elasmobranch predation on populations of their prey (direct effects), with a few exceptions that hav”
• The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges (2015, background): “(Wetherbee et al., 2004).”
• Geographic and ontogenetic variation in the diet and daily ration of the bonnethead shark, Sphyrna tiburo, from the eastern Gulf of Mexico (2007, background): “Ontogenetic diet shifts are common in sharks (see Wetherbee and Cortés 2004, and references therein); however, Cortés et al. (1996) concluded that bonnetheads in Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor, Florida, underwent dietary shifts depending on season and habitat but not ontogeny.”
• Social preferences of juvenile lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris (2009, background): “It is widely accepted that many shark species show ontogenetic and sex-based shifts in habitat use and diet composition (reviewed in Wetherbee & Cortes 2004 ) and these passive sorting mechanisms may contribute to the formation of size- and sex-segregated groups (Sims 2003; Hulbert et al. 2005; Wea”
• Diet of demersal sharks and chimaeras inferred by fatty acid profiles and stomach content analysis (2011, unknown): “Such dietary overlap has been shown to occur in elasmobranchs of similar size classes (Wetherbee and Cortés, 2004) and between adjacent geographical locations (Simpfendorfer et al.”
• Feeding ecology of demersal elasmobranchs from the shelf and slope off the Balearic Sea (western Mediterranean) (2011, background): “Elasmobranchs are top predators playing an important role in the marine ecosystems with a top-down control on the size and dynamics of many species (Wetherbee and Cortes, 2004).”
• Nursery habitat use and foraging ecology of the brown stingray Dasyatis lata determined from stomach contents, bulk and amino acid stable isotopes (2011, unknown): “Ontogenetic diet shifts are common for elasmobranchs and these shifts have been linked to morphological, behavioral and physiological characteristics (Scharf et al. 2000, Wetherbee & Cortés 2004, Lucifora et al. 2006).”
• Food and feeding habits of the blue shark Prionace glauca caught off Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, with a review on its feeding (2010, background): “A high incidence of empty stomachs and few food items support the conclusion that sharks are intermittent rather than continuous feeders (Wetherbee & Cortés, 2004).”
• Ontogenetic changes in the diet of the sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, in lower Chesapeake Bay and Virginia (USA) coastal waters (2007, background): “plumbeus in Virginia waters, as it does in many sharks (Wetherbee and Cortés 2004).”
