In addition, because many private landowners do not allow trapping, there's a greater probability of finding populations of
American marten for study and radio tracking.
renale was already described in gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) from Mexico (3),

This month's cover features an image of the

Extinction dynamics in the
American marten (Martes americana).
Classified as "medium-sized carnivores" along with the fisher (Mattes pennanti) and its smaller mink-family cousin, the
American marten (Martes americana), these animals are excellent barometers of ecosystem health, lending insight into a landscape's tolerance for habitat disturbance.
Just now beginning to attract attention are two more species said to be old-growth dependent, the Pacific fisher (Martes pennanti pacifica) and the
