Understanding Predators (Gulls) - Use of anthropogenic foods by glaucous gull in Northern Alaska

Glaucous Gulls (Larus hyperboreus) are one of the major predators on Alaska’s North Slope and benefit from human activity. As development for oil production continues, Glaucous Gull populations may grow, and it is important to understand how this will affect other wildlife. No detailed study of Glaucous Gull diet has been conducted in northern Alaska, so it is not known what species would be affected by increasing gull predation. In 2010, a study of Glaucous Gull diet on the North Slope was completed.
