A comparison of the effects of environmental ammonia exposure on the Asian freshwater stingrayHimantura signiferand the Amazonian freshwater stingrayPotamotrygon motoro [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003 SUMMARYThe white-edge whip tail ray Himantura signifer inhabits a freshwater environment but has retained the capability to synthesize urea de novo through the arginine-ornithine-urea cycle (OUC). The present study aimed to elucidate whether the capacity of urea synthesis in H. signifer could be upregulated in response to environmental ammonia exposure.

Ingestion of catfish by freshwater stingray: possible mistake or inexperience [PDF]
Biota Neotropica, 2009 We report an individual of the freshwater stingray Potamotrygon falkneri caught with a decomposing catfish, Pimelodella gracilis, stuck in its oral cavity. The ingestion of catfishes by stingrays is possibly rendered difficult or hazardous due to the serrated spines on the dorsal and pectoral fins of this prey type.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
