Characterizing the trophic ecology of sharks is fundamental to understand the potential cascading effects of their current décline in marine ecosystems. This thesis investigates the trophic niches of shark species in Coastal and offshore ecosystems around Baja California Sur (Mexico) in both the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, a region characterized by a strong pressure from artisanal fisheries. Ecologically, the guiding thread was to elucidate the importance of resource partitioning in shaping shark realized trophic niches, at both the intra- and inter-specific level. To achieve this objective, multiple trophic biomarkers were used, such as carbon, nitrogen and mercury stable isotopes, and fatty acid compositions, to describe the...
