Description
A new, comprehensive synthesis provides the scientific foundation for management and conservation efforts designed to maintain or enhance populations and habitats of Martes species throughout the world. The book, titled Biology and Conservation of Martens, Sables, and Fishers: A New Synthesis, includes 20 chapters that present the interdisciplinary perspectives of 63 scientists from 12 countries, organized around five key themes: evolution and biogeography, population biology and management, habitat ecology and management, research techniques, and conservation.
The synthesis covers recent developments in research technologies such as occupancy 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.
