Is it true that Omnivores occupy multiple trophic levels simultaneously by feeding across dietary categories?

This statement is a definitional truism in ecology; omnivory is precisely defined as feeding on multiple trophic levels, making a citation unnecessary.

The analysis

The claim states the standard ecological definition of an omnivore. Paper [8] also explicitly defines omnivory as feeding on more than one trophic level. Because this is a matter of definition and general scientific consensus (common knowledge), no empirical papers need to be weighed to support or refute it.
