Special Issue from the Martes Working Group
Preface for the Special Issue
by Joanna Burgar, Jenny MacPherson, & Rich Weir
This special issue emerges from the collaborative efforts of the Martes Working Group an international association dedicated to advancing research and conservation efforts for the species within the Martes complex, more appropriately known as the Guloninae – fishers, martens, sables, tayras and wolverines – that all share similar ecological roles and challenges.
