Journal ArticleDOI

Expanding the Isotopic Toolbox: Applications of Hydrogen and Oxygen Stable Isotope Ratios to Food Web Studies

TL;DR: The advantages and challenges associated with three applications of δ2H and δ18O values in food web studies are explored, and directions for targeted research are highlighted that will increase understanding of how these markers move through food webs and reflect ecological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can seal eating explain elevated levels of PCBs and organochlorine pesticides in walrus blubber from eastern Hudson Bay (Canada)

TL;DR: The results suggest that the walrus with elevated organochlorines are feeding at a higher trophic level than those with low levels and are probably utilizing ringed seals for a portion of their diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal changes in diets of seabirds in the North Water Polynya: a multiple-indicator approach

TL;DR: This study highlights the seasonal nature of prey availability and seabird diets in the polynya, as well as the utility of simultaneously using conventional stomach content analysis and stable isotope and fatty acid analyses to infer dietary patterns in marine food webs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organochlorine contaminants in seven species of Arctic seabirds from northern Baffin Bay

TL;DR: Positive relationships between delta15N (estimator of trophic level) and OC concentrations (lipid basis) were found for all OC groups, showing that troPHic position and biomagnification significantly influence OC concentrations in Arctic seabirds.
