'By killing salmon, bears make their flesh available to smaller fish and gulls. '
'If the berries ripen earlier, that might be a good thing, but once they’re done, the bears will have missed out on the earlier salmon pulse. '
'Every year, hordes of sockeye salmon swim up from the ocean and fill the island’s streams in a spawning frenzy. '
'The two food sources don’t overlap, so the bears eat them in sequence, gorging on salmon before bingeing on berries. '
'So far, no one knows if bears in other states are also abandoning salmon in favor of other time-shifted foods. '
