“…Dietary shift toward feeding on plants, berries and caribou (Rangifer tarandus) and seabird eggs, respectively (Ramsay and Hobson, 1991;Gormezano and Rockwell, 2013a,b;Iles et al, 2013;Iverson et al, 2014), will most likely decrease and increase, respectively, the dietary uptake of POPs. Furthermore, climate warming induced immigrating warm-adapted fish species (Valdimarsson et al, 2012;Mackenzie et al, 2014) may act as biovectors that increases contaminant levels in marine arctic ecosystems (Macdonald et al, 2005;Carrie et al, 2010), ultimately causing increased bioaccumulation of these compounds in polar bears.…”
