Climate change is generating novel communities composed of new combinations of
species. These result from different degrees of species adaptations to changing biotic and …

Spatial coherence between predators and prey has rarely been observed in pelagic marine
ecosystems. We used measures of the environment, prey abundance, prey quality, and prey …

Concern about impacts of climate change in the Bering Sea prompted several research
programs to elucidate mechanistic links between climate and ecosystem responses …

Mesopelagic myctophid fish are a key component of the world's ocean food webs, linking
primary consumers and predators. Among marine predators, seabirds are globally …

Plastic pollution, and its associated impacts on marine fauna due to chemical contamination,
is an area of growing global concern. We analyzed 145 preen gland oil samples from 32 …

Reductions in summer sea ice in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas are expected to affect what
has been an ice-adapted marine food web in the Pacific Arctic. To determine whether recent …

The frequency and severity of marine heatwaves (MHWs), an emergent property of global
warming, has led to large-scale disruptions to marine ecosystems. As upper trophic species …

I examined~ 2700 food samples collected from adult and nestling black-legged kittiwakes
Rissa tridactyla from 1978 through 2011 on Middleton Island in the Gulf of Alaska. The …

Results from 2004 field observations, integrated with those from prior studies, allow
definition of a unique “Pribilof Domain” in the southeastern Bering Sea. This domain results …

Accurately estimating predators' diets at relevant spatial and temporal scales is key to
understanding animals' energetics and fitness, particularly in populations whose decline …
