TI  - Relationship between the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and persistent organic 
      pollutants in sympatric Alaskan seabird (Uria aalge and U. lomvia) eggs between 
      1999 and 2010.

AB  - Although climate change occurs alongside other anthropogenic ecosystem impacts, 
      little is known about how sea-surface temperature variability influences the 
      ecotoxicology of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). We analyzed POP 
      contaminant levels, and stable isotopes delta(15)N and delta(13)C as measures of trophic 
      position, in eggs collected from the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea between 1999 
      and 2010 from two similar avian species with different trophic positions: common 
      murres (Uria aalge) and thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia). The ebb and flow of 
      the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), a long-lived El Nino-like pattern of 
      climate variability in the Pacific Ocean, predicted both trophic position and 
      polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels in thick-billed murres, but not in common 
      murres. There was a similar pattern of association of the PDO with organochlorine 
      pesticide levels in thick-billed murres, but not in common murres. The magnitude 
      of association in thick-billed murres of PDO with the level of a specific PCB 
      congener was a function of the number of chlorine groups on the PCB congener. 
      Although this statistical analysis does not account for all factors contributing 
      to climate variation, this contrast between the species suggests that facultative 
      changes in foraging behavior, reflected in trophic position, can determine how 
      POPs flow through and thereby alter ecosystems under climate change.
