"""Figure 1. Re-jigging of polar bear subpopulations now splits what used to be an entirely Canadian segment, called the """"Eastern Beaufort"""" (map on the left, from Stirling and Lunn 1997), into """"Southern Beaufort"""" (shared with the USA) and """"Northern Beaufort,"""" with the Canada-USA border at 141 W (map on the right, from Stirling et al. 2011). Labels added for clarity. Most of the polar bears sampled for the Stirling et al. paper were captured along the west and south coasts of Banks Island, although a few were captured north of Banks Island in M'Clure Strait and in Amundsen Gulf to the southeast."""
