Circumpolar polar bear microsatellite datasetPeacock_et_al_2014.xlsx We provide an expansive analysis of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) circumpolar genetic variation during the last two decades of decline in their sea-ice habitat. We sought to evaluate whether their genetic diversity and structure hav...
