Cumulative survival (A) and life expectancy (B) of western Hudson Bay polar bears from Jolly-Seber models that ignore age structure (black) or incorporate age structure and assume annual survival is constant (blue) or a quadratic function of age (red).
Posterior medians and 95% credible intervals are shown. Cumulative survival and life expectancy estimates are conditional on surviving to two years of age (i.e., independent bears). Upper credible bound for life expectancy from the age structure model with constant survival is > 100 years and not...

| Summary: | Posterior medians and 95% credible intervals are shown. Cumulative survival and life expectancy estimates are conditional on surviving to two years of age (i.e., independent bears). Upper credible bound for life expectancy from the age structure model with constant survival is > 100 years and not shown (see Results ). |
