note = "Funding Information: We are grateful to the Alaskan Native subsistence hunters who donated walrus tissues (Permit No. 50 CFR 18.23(a)(3)(b)(1)) for scientific research. Walrus samples were collected under the authority of permit number 50 CFR 18.23(a)(3)(b)(1) and held at University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) under a Letter of Authorization from USFWS to L. Horstmann. Bearded seal tissues were collected as part of a long-term biomonitoring program (National Marine Fisheries Service Scientific Research Permit No. 358-1787); tissues were analyzed and data sets were made available by Dr. S. Wang. Benthic prey samples from the Chukchi Sea were collected and analyzed by T. Schollmeier (UAF) as part of the Russian–American Long-term Census of the Arctic, the Chukchi Sea Offshore Monitoring In Drilling Area, and the Arctic Ecosystem Integrated Survey. POM and benthic prey samples from the Bering Sea were collected as part of the Bering Sea Ecosystem Study project. Data sets describing i-POM and p-POM samples were supplied by Dr. S Wang and those describing b-POM and benthic invertebrates were supplied by Dr. L. Oxtoby. Support for Dr. L. Oxtoby to conduct sample analyses at Dalhousie University was provided by a Water and Environmental Research Center (University of Alaska Fairbanks- UAF) travel grant. A. Timmins (Dalhousie University) and T. Howe (Alaska Stable Isotope Facility, UAF) assisted with sample extraction and instrumentation. Manuscript preparation was supported by a National Science Foundation GK-12 fellowship (Changing Alaska Science Education), a Dissertation Completion Fellowship (UAF), as well as by the Matthew Iya, Francis “Bud” Fay, Ken Turner, Kathryn E. and John Doyle, and Frances and Alfred Baker Memorial Funds.
