Abstract
Jaelen Myers studied habitat use and feeding ecology of juvenile rays in tropical intertidal sand flats. She found that species exhibit distinct habitat preferences and foraging strategies to partition resources within shared nursery grounds. The results demonstrate how multiple species fulfill complementary ecological roles through behavioural and dietary specialisation.
