Mammals in the genus Martes are mid-sized carnivores of great
importance to forest ecosystems. This book, the successor to
Martens, Sables, and Fishers: Biology and Conservation, provides a
scientific basis for management and conservation efforts designed
to maintain or enhance the populations and habitats of Martes
species throughout the world. The twenty synthesis chapters
contained in this book bring together the perspectives and
expertise of 63 scientists from twelve countries, and are organized
by the five key themes of evolution and biogeography, population
biology and management, habitat ecology and management, research
techniques, and conservation.
Recent developments in research technologies such as modeling
and genetics, biological knowledge about pathogens and parasites,
and concerns about the potential effects of global warming on the
distribution and status of Martes populations make new syntheses of
these areas especially timely. The volume provides an overview of
what is known while clarifying initiatives for future research and
conservation priorities, and will be of interest to mammalogists,
resource managers, applied ecologists, and conservation
biologists.
