Abstract
In recent decades, Martes species (martens, fishers, and sables) have garnered the attention of conservation biologists and policy makers over concerns regarding population declines and their important ecological and economic roles. These concerns prompted the establishment of the MartesWorking Group and publication of a synthesis on Martes species (Buskirk et al. 1994). Since the 1994 synthesis, field and laboratory studies have filled key information gaps, new avenues of research have evolved (i.e., genetic analyses, pathogen–host ecology, multiscale habitat analyses), and potential impacts of global climate change have been raised. Accordingly, this new volume incorporates research developments of the last 2 decades into our understanding of Martes species.
