Scaling of bite force corresponds with ontogenetic niche shifts in coastal elasmobranchs

IntroductionPredators, such as sharks, play important ecological roles in coastal ecosystems when abundant and these roles change over ontogeny. However, these shifts in ecological role are often not evaluated in light of feeding performance. Bite force is an ecologically relevant metric of feeding...
