From: Phenological tracking associated with increased salmon consumption by brown bears
(a) Estimated % salmon in the assimilated diets of 18 bears. Points show the median of the posterior distributions resulting from MixSIAR models for each bear; and (c) kg salmon in bear diets as functions of foraging duration; (b) estimated % salmon in the assimilated diets and (d) kg of salmon in bear diets by year. At α = 0.05, % salmon in assimilated diets did not significantly differ between years (t-test; p = 0.08). However, bears consumed more kg of salmon in 2014 than 2011 (t-test; p < 0.01). e) total annual salmon escapement (all species) in the Karluk watershed, Alaska. In all panels, red and blue indicate data from 2011 and 2014, respectively.
