Figure 1.
Peary caribou sampling locations.
All solid symbols indicate contemporary samples; triangles denote samples that were removed from the analysis to test for a Wahlund Effect; circles denote all other contemporary samples. Multiple contemporary samples were collected from each location. Letters indicate the approximate location of historical samples: A - Lake Hazen (n = 17), B - East of Lake Hazen (n = 1), C - NE of Lake Hazen (n = 7), D - South of Black Cliffs Bay (n = 3), E - Black Cliffs Bay (n = 10), and F - Porter Bay (n = 12).
