  abstract = {{K}nowing the trophic ecology of marine predators is essential to develop an understanding of their ecological role in ecosystems. {R}esearch conducted on deep-sea and threatened shark species is limited. {H}ere, by combining analyses of individual stomach contents and stable isotope values, we examined the trophic ecology (dietary composition and trophic position) of the kitefin shark {D}alatias licha, a deep-sea shark considered as near threatened globally and as data deficient in the {M}editerranean {S}ea. {R}esults revealed the importance of small sharks in the diet of the kitefin shark at short- and long-term scales, although fin-fish, crustaceans and cephalopods were also found. {P}redation on sharks reveals the high trophic position of the kitefin shark within the food web of the western {M}editerranean {S}ea. {S}table isotope values from liver and muscle tissues confirmed our results from stomach content analysis and the high trophic position.},
