Trophic roles of the top predator in each food web from our 66 sampled sites, along with example species in each group, classified according to increasing trophic level.

Taxon (macroinvertebrate (n = 4) or fish (n = 23)), habit, morphology, and observational data contributed to defining trophic classes, but designation was largely based on published summaries of gut contents [58], [59] according to relative proportions of major dietary items.
