Range contraction and increasing isolation of a polar bear subpopulation in an era of sea‐ice loss

Abstract Climate change is expected to result in range shifts and habitat fragmentation for many species. In the Arctic, loss of sea ice will reduce barriers to dispersal or eliminate movement corridors, resulting in increased connectivity or geographic isolation with sweeping implications for conse...
