Contemporary diets of walruses in Bristol Bay, Alaska suggest temporal variability in benthic community structure

Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) are a conspicuous and important component of the Bristol Bay ecosystem and human social systems, but very little is known about walrus ecology in this region, principally their feeding ecology. The present work provides contemporary data on the diets of walruses at four haulout locations throughout Bristol Bay between 2014 and 2018.We analyzed scat and gastrointestinal tract samples from these...
