Supplementary Material Figure 1. Mean proportional contribution of prey items to the diets of a) 40-59 mm and b) 60-79 mm Chinook salmon using IRI. Taxa shown comprise >1% of the total IRI for the species in the given site/month. Patterned bars represent benthic or epibenthic prey, while solid bars represent midwater or surface prey. Numbers over the bars indicate the number of individuals sampled.

Supplementary Material Figure 2. Mean proportional IRI composition of a) 20-39 mm, b) 40-59 mm, and c) 60-79 mm stickleback diets by site and month. Patterned bars represent benthic or epibenthic prey, while solid bars represent midwater or surface prey. Taxa shown comprise >5% of the total IRI for the species in the given site/month. Blank columns indicate that fewer than 3 fish were caught. Numbers over the bars indicate the number of individuals sampled.

Supplementary Material Figure 3. Mean proportional contribution of prey items using IRI to the diets of Chinook salmon and stickleback at Lord and Russian over a 24 h period in April 2007. Numbers over the bars indicate number of individuals sampled. Differences in the numbers of individuals sampled are due to the presence or absence of different size classes of fish during the sampling period.
