There are several species of martens worldwide and perhaps the most famous is the Russian sable, which is well known for its luxurious fur. Distribution and status A century ago martens were common in the extensive forests that covered much of North America. Unfortunately, land clearing and trapping have taken their toll, so that today the species has been eliminated from much of the southern portion of its former range. Martens no longer occur in Prince Edward Island and were eliminated from but later reintroduced into Nova Scotia and several American states. They are classified as a threatened species in Newfoundland, where they have had protected status since 1934. Elsewhere, they occur in forested areas of central and northern Canada, northern United States, and southwards in the Rocky Mountains.

Males are 2 feet long, with an 8-inch tail and weigh 1 1/2 pounds. Females are 10 to 20 percent smaller and weigh only half as much as males. The animals are brown, right to the tip of the tail, and a paler yellowish orange beneath. M M artens are mostly nocturnal, but when they are hungry they are active any time, day or night. As other weasels, martens are active year round. In coldest weather they may den in a tree hole or chickaree nest.

24. CWC, Winter 1994: A Mouse So Rare, On The Move, And Winter Watching Tips martens use structures extensively, taking advantage of complex forests with treesin various stages of growth Winter is a good time for wildlife watching. http://wildlife.state.co.us/Colo_Wild_Co/win1994/mouse_move_tips.htm

Colorado's Wildlife Company Winter 1994 A Mouse So Rare One of Colorado's small mammals is gaining attention for reasons other than its hibernating habits: it may be the rarest mammal in North America. What is this creature? The tiny Preble's meadow jumping mouse. On The Move High in the forests of the Rocky Mountains, pine martens survive the rigorous winter without hibernating, migrating or even putting on fat! Instead, they carefully choose where they spend their time to stay as warm as possible. Like other members of the weasel family, martens have small, long bodies which lose heat fairly readily. Researchers at the University of Wyoming found that martens make precise use of microenvironments in the forest, moving around to always be in the warmest site available. In very cold weather, they stay under the snow where the temperature hovers around freezing. In warmer weather they move above the snow. Martens use structures extensively, taking advantage of complex forests with trees in various stages of growth, death and rebirth. They shelter in hollows in fallen logs, snags and live trees; tangled masses of witch's broom (a parasitic plant) in spruce trees; and crevices between rocks in boulder fields. They undergo a shallow daily torpor (sleep-like state) to save energy, in which their temperature drops about 3° Celsius (5° Fahrenheit). Top Winter Watching Tips Winter is a good time for wildlife watching. The bare landscape and leafless trees make wildlife easier to see. Snow provides a canvas on which many animals leave traces of their passage. We may find evidence of animals we rarely have a chance to see. After a fresh snowfall, look for tracks, evidence of burrows or diggings, or even fresh scat. Try deciphering the stories left in the snow. Doglike tracks leading to a hole tell you where a coyote pounced on a mouse beneath the snow. Rabbit tracks ending in a stirred-up area edged by telltale wingmarks signal where an owl caught a meal.

25. Fish & Wildlife Today: Fall 1998: A Bull Market For Wildlife: Minnesota DNR Now we've got martens in Duluth and Grand Rapids working over people'sbird feeders, says Bill Berg, a forest wildlife research scientist. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fwt/back_issues/september98/bull_market.html

Shortcuts: Lake Finder Rec. Compass Curr. Conditions Hunting Fishing State Parks Site Map Contact the DNR What's New? Newsroom ... September 1998 null DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife - Fall 1998 One of Minnesota's biggest success stories has been the growing number of deer in Southern Minnesota. The farmland deer harvest is up 300 percent from the 1970s. A bull market for wildlife If Minnesota's game populations were stocks, Wall Street would be buying He tried shrinking it down. He tried reducing the margins. Finally, the only way Kevin Lines could fit the new wild turkey hunting permit area map onto a two-page spread for the 1999 spring hunt booklet was to turn it sideways. "Now that we've got permit areas as far north as Otter Tail County, we're having a heck of a time fitting the map onto just two pages," says Lines, DNR Farmland Wildlife Program coordinator. As Minnesota's wild turkeys have spread north and west, so have hunting opportunities. Next spring, more than 20,000 hunters will be yelping at tom turkeys, up ten-fold from just a decade ago. This recreational windfall is the result of a growing wild turkey population that has skyrocketed from just a few birds in the 1970s to more than 30,000 today. Funded primarily with hunting license dollars, a federal tax on hunting equipment, and donations from conservation groups, DNR wildlife biologists have helped boost populations of many other game species, too. The state's whitetail herd has tripled in size from the 1970s to the 1990s. The giant Canada goose, a locally breeding subspecies considered extinct 40 years ago, now numbers 100,000 in Minnesota. Pine martens and fishers have recovered from near extinction in Minnesota to where state trappers now can harvest some of these furbearers. Black bear numbers are up 400 percent from the 1960s.

Photo Credit: John Marriott Pine Martin [North American: Martes americana] [European: Martes martes] Pine martens are elusive nocturnal mammals which are found in pine forests and rocky scree areas. Suitable refuge sites include rocky crevices, disused squirrel nests (dreys) and holes in trees. Their fur is dark brown to black in colour with conspicuous creamy-orange throat patches. They have a pointed muzzle, prominent ears and a bushy tail. From head to tail adults are 64-81cm (25-32 inches) long . They weigh 1.3-1.7kg (2.8-3.7lb). Feeding Pine martens are excellent climbers, and climb with agility in a squirrel-like manner from tree to tree as they search for food sources (such as birds, squirrels, rodents, rabbits, eggs, beetles, berries and even honey). They may also track down food on the ground where they are equally at home as in the trees. Pine marten signs: Tracks and droppings indicate the presence of pine martens. Their foot prints are round and cat-like with five toes; claw prints are normally absent as they are only visible in soft ground. Droppings containing hair and feathers are deposited in regular latrines near to a boulder or log.

Moving Toward Ecosystem Management One example is how we view wildlife management. The historical and current practice is to manage on a species-specific level, rather than taking a broad, multi-species approach. We tend to manage for grizzly bears separately from elk, great gray owls and pine martens. Moving toward multi-layered, multi-species approaches would represent a major step toward ecosystem management. Fostering the transition from species-specific to landscape, watershed and eventually whole ecosystem-oriented conservation is a long-term goal of this Blueprint. Such a fundamental shift will not happen overnight. Current approaches to wildlife management will have to be melded with the emerging concepts of conservation biology.

Epidemiological surveys within the context of the decline offree-ranging wild animal populations. 1. Investigations of mutual transmission of various viral infections between free-ranging and domestic animals and between different wild animal species. Bovine viral diarrhea/ mucosal disease (BVD/ MD) infections in deer and rabbits in Germany Samples of free-ranging rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) from nothern Germany were tested for prevalence of different bovine viral diarrhea virus- (BVDV) antibodies and BVDV antigen, respectively. Forty sera (40%) were tested positive for antibodies to one more of three cytopathogenic BVDV strains. Therefore we assume that the rabbits either had passivly acquired antibodies or experienced natural infection with BVDV. Supported by: Schaumannstiftung Equine herpesvirus infections in free-ranging mountain zebras (Equus zebra hartmannae) in Namibia Twenty-one blood samples of free-ranging mountain zebras from Namibia, one of the most endangered equine species, were tested for specific antibodies against different equine herpesvirus (EHV-1. -2, -3, -4) and specific DANN of EHV-1, -2 and -4.

Natural Resources >Wildlife Wildlife Beavers are social animals that live and work in family groups. They build elaborate lodges made of sticks and mud. Female beavers have between 3 and 4 kits per litter. Once in decline in the 1800s, beavers were trapped for their fur that is both warm and water resistant.Trapping of beavers lessened in the early 1900's and today beavers are back in abundance. They are very adaptive to urban development and can be found in many suburban areas. INTERESTING FACTS: Beavers can close their ears and nose when they dive underwater. photo credit: USFWS/Randy Lennon Coyotes are members of the canine family. They are clever, highly adaptable animals and are found throughout the United States. photo credit: USFWS/George Harrison The gray wolf is a highly intelligent, social animal that lives in groups known as packs. The pack is usually comprised of a dominant male and female pair, their offspring, and other adult members. The pack is extremely hierarchical, meaning each wolf has a particular social position within the pack. This hierarchical structure forms the basis of the pack's behavior in socializing, hunting, and feeding. Moose are the largest members of the deer family. In North America, they inhabit the timbered regions of Canada, Alaska, and parts of the northwestern United States in the Rocky Mountains as well as parts of Maine. The favorite habitat is moist areas with abundant willow and poplar trees. They are frequently found wading in water feeding on the underwater vegetation. Bulls have large antlers and mating occurs in September or October. Moose are generally solitary animals, not gathering in herds. Moose are an important prey species for wolves and grizzly bears.
