Marten

American marten (Martes americana) are a species that we have studied in a number of ways over the years.

In the winters of 2015 and 2016, JPRF collared ~20 marten with high-fix rate GPS collars. These collars provided valuable insights to marten habitat use, especially in relation to forest management.

In the summer of 2015, an undergraduate student Caroline Seip conducted a project to observe marten use of constructed coarse woody debris corridors.

More recently, in 2023, David Breault used hair and nail samples from marten and other mesocarnivores to observe their dietary overlap.
