This is a graphical abstract for a publication by the USGS and collaborators that examines the role of diet and food intake affecting polar bear population dynamics. Polar bears consume diets consisting of high proportions of marine mammal blubber that they access from the sea ice.

The importance of method selection when estimating diet composition with quantitative fatty acid signature analysis
Incremental evolution of modeling a prognosis for polar bears in a rapidly changing Arctic
Diet energy density estimated from isotopes in predator hair associated with survival, habitat, and population dynamics
Summer/fall diet and macronutrient assimilation in an Arctic predator
Long-term variation in polar bear body condition and maternal investment relative to a changing environment
Survival and abundance of polar bears in Alaska’s Beaufort Sea, 2001–2016
Diet composition and body condition of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in relation to sea ice habitat in the Canadian High Arctic
Seal body condition and atmospheric circulation patterns influence polar bear body condition, recruitment, and feeding ecology in the Chukchi Sea
Analyses on subpopulation abundance and annual number of maternal dens for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in the southern Beaufort Sea, Alaska
Drivers and consequences of apex predator diet composition in the Canadian Beaufort Sea
