Figure 1. Study area delineating the two regions representing core (Baffin Bay - red) and peripheral (Hudson Bay - blue) beluga whale populations and the 16 Nunavut, Canada communities where sampling took place. Darker colours represent summer range that is used to define the populations.

Figure 3. Linear relationship between female ovarian reproductive activity (ORA) and body length for Baffin Bay (red; ORA = 0.5029 ± 0.0496(length) – 3.749 ± 1.326; r2 = 0.766, p < 0.001) and Hudson Bay (blue; ORA = 0.3311 ± 0.0367(length) – 0.1331 ± 1.135; r2 = 0.439, p < 0.001) beluga whale populations.
