Polar Bears: Breath analyses
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.434

Summary
Exhaled breath was collected and analyzed for stable carbon isotopes at the
University of Wyoming Stable Isotope Facility, and for respirometry exchange
ratio following Whiteman et al. (2012; J. of Mammalogy 93:413-421).
Information on bear IDs and dates of capture is not available because of the
threatened species status of the subjects.
