Estimated Ages of Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bears Based on DNA Methylation, 1987-2016 Estimated Ages of Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bears Based on DNA Methylation, 1987-2016

This dataset contains known and estimated ages of polar bears sampled from the southern Beaufort Sea of Alaska. Whole blood was collected from polar bears of known chronological age between 1987 and 2016. Chronological age was known because all the bears in this data set were initially captured as a dependent cub-of-the-year, yearling, or 2-year-old, and that allowed us to know...
