| Remarks |
Quantitative values were estimated from Figure 2 (Ref. 123340) using Webplot Digitizer. The study area covered the coastal areas of the Southern Beaufort Sea from Point Barrow, Alaska, USA to Cape Parry, Northwest Territories, Canada. Polar bears were either physically captured, or there was a visual sighting of a polar bear for which the individual identity was known via radiotelemetry. Population size was estimated from the model-averaged estimates of recapture probability derived from Cormack-Jolly-Seber models. |
