Cover Photo: Adult female polar bear along the coast of Manitoba, Canada, in late summer. Long‐term trends towards earlier breakup and later freeze‐up of sea ice on Hudson Bay force bears to spend longer periods of time on shore. Research on the Western Hudson Bay subpopulation provide support for a demographic linkage between sea‐ice conditions and polar bear population dynamics. See Lunn et al. (pp 1302–1320).
