Ketamine and Midazolam Anesthesia in Pacific Martens (Martes caurina)

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A. and Moriarty, Katie M.
Abstract:: The use of midazolam as a tranquilizer for anesthesia in mustelids in conjunction with the cyclohexamine ketamine is not well documented. Because midazolam is fast acting, inexpensive, and quickly metabolized, it may serve as a good alternative to other more commonly used tranquilizers. We trapped and anesthetized 27 Pacific martens...

Effects of season on occupancy and implications for habitat modeling: the Pacific marten Martes caurina

Creator:: Zielinski, William J., Moriarty, Katie M., Baldwin, Jim, Kirk, Thomas A., Slauson, Keith M., Rustigian-Romsos, Heather L., and Spencer, Wayne D.
Abstract:: Season affects many characteristics of populations and, as a result, the interpretations of surveys conducted at different seasons. We explored seasonal variation in occupancy using data from four studies on the Pacific marten Martes caurina. Detection surveys were conducted during winter and summer using either cameras or track stations. We...

Habitat use and movement behavior of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) in response to forest management practices in Lassen National Forest, California

Creator:: Moriarty, Katie M.
Abstract:: Some of the most pressing conservation concerns involve declining populations of species with low fecundity and highly specialized foraging and reproductive requirements. Yet, we often lack a functional understanding of how individuals of those species interact with their environment, specifically how their movement is affected by human-induced changes. In order...

Habitat selection by American martens (Martes americana) in coastal northwestern California

Creator:: Slauson, Keith M.
Abstract:: The Humboldt marten, Martes americana humboldtensis, has undergone a dramatic decline throughout its historical distribution in coastal Northwestern California. There is currently only one known population occupying an area occurring in <5% of the historical distribution of the subspecies. Conservation and management efforts to benefit this population are hampered by...

Predicting the distribution of the fisher (Martes pennanti) in northwestern California, U.S.A. : using survey data and GIS modeling

Creator:: Carroll, Carlos
Abstract:: Forest carnivores such as the fisher have frequently been the target of conservation concern due to their association with older forests and assumed sensitivity to landscape-level habitat alteration. Although the fisher has been extirpated from most of its former range in the western U.S., it is still found throughout much...

Experimental evidence that simplified forest structure interacts with snow cover to influence functional connectivity for Pacific martens

Creator:: Moriarty, Katie M., Epps, Clinton W., Betts, Matthew G., Hance, Dalton J., Bailey, J. D., and Zielinski, William J.
Abstract:: Context: Functional connectivity—the facilitation of individual movements among habitat patches—is essential for species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes. Evaluating functional connectivity is critical for predicting range shifts, developing conservation plans, and anticipating effects of disturbance, especially for species affected by climate change. Objectives: We examined whether simplifying forest structure influenced animal...

Forest thinning changes movement patterns and habitat use by Pacific marten

Creator:: Moriarty, Katie M., Epps, Clinton W., and Zielinski, William J.
Abstract:: Simplifying stand structure to reduce fuel density is a high priority for forest managers; however, affects to Pacific marten (Martes caurina) movement and connectivity are unknown. We evaluated whether thinning forests to reduce fuels influenced movements of Pacific marten. We collected movement paths from 22 martens using global positioning system...

Assessing alternatives for fuel reduction treatment and Pacific marten conservation in the southern Cascades and northern Sierra Nevada

Creator:: Credo, Kevin
Abstract:: Forest managers are challenged to restore resilience to forests with an elevated risk of stand-replacing fire by using mechanical thinning and prescribed fire. Implementation of these methods can be constrained by mandates to conserve sensitive wildlife species like the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Martens avoid simplified forest stands created by...

Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina), which has been used as a focal species for demonstrating ecosystem integrity. Marten population densities decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts...

Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Densities of martens decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts from recreation are relatively unstudied. My goal was to evaluate marten occupancy...
