Polar Bears: Adipose analyses https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.429 Summary From a subset of captured bears a sample of adipose tissue was collected via tissue biopsy. These tissues were analyzed for lipid content, percent of saturated fatty-acids, fatty-acid profiles, as well as stable carbon isotope values. Information on bear IDs and dates of capture is not available because of the threatened species status of the subjects.
