In closing, we present a synthesis of macronutritional niche theory, nutritional geometry, and compositional analysis to produce a novel view of the nutritional ecology of brown bear and functional omnivory more generally. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effect of anthropogenic subsidies on the macronutrient proportions of brown bear diet, and the implications of which are open to future study. Last, while it may be argued that compositional analysis is the appropriate way to analyze proportional data, our univariate tests were in agreement with compositional results. Similar results between these methods have been documented elsewhere, where it was suggested that traditional statistical methods are robust to compositions if variance is not too great (Ros‐Freixedes & Estany, 2013).
