“…Eruption of the permanent dentition begins at 7-8 weeks and is completed by weeks 1 1-1 3 (Murr, 1933;Mazak, 1963). T h e development of the milk teeth and their replacement were described in detail by Habermehl & Rottcher (1967). Miller's (1912) description of Polecat skeletal characteristics includes a detailed account of the dentition.…”

Biology of the Polecat Mustela putorius: a literature review

1987

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The available literature on the biology of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) is collated. Aspects covered are general biology and systematics, distribution, physical characteristics, variation, skeletal characteristics, habitat, general behaviour, diet and predatory behaviour, breeding, juvenile development, population structure, mortality, parasites and diseases, relations with man, and history in Britain. Notes on field signs are also included. Recent and current research on Polecats both in Great Britain and on the European continent are then reviewed and some new information is reported. An extended bibliography lists all major and many minor publications on M. putorius, together with selected references to feral Ferrets (M. furo) and Polecat‐Ferrets (M. putorius x M.furo).

“…Individual martens were sexed, weighed and radio‐collared (model TW‐3; Biotrack Ltd., Wareham, UK; mass 30 g). Age classes were defined as juvenile (<12 months), sub‐adult (between 12 and 24 months) and adult (>24 months), based on tooth wear (Habermehl & Röttcher, 1967) and reproductive status (large descended testes, signs of lactation). Because of daytime road traffic, we kept trapped martens at the capture site in a holding box containing food and water and sheltered from direct sunlight, and released them the same evening after 22:00 h. Manipulation and care of animals followed the guidelines of the Animal Behavior Society (2006).…”

Socio‐spatial organization of urban stone martens

2008

Stone martens Martes foina are common occupants of urban environments across continental Europe. We predicted that like other 'urban adapters', urban stone martens should exhibit smaller home ranges, more extensive home-range overlap and higher population densities than their rural counterparts. We radio-tracked 13 stone martens (10 females, three males) in two towns in southern Luxembourg during a 2-year period, in order to investigate nocturnal ranging behaviour. All martens maintained stable, year-round territories almost wholly within the urban perimeter of the respective study towns. Socio-spatial organization was based on intra-sexual territoriality. Territories (100% minimum convex polygon) were small in size (males: 112.6 AE 24.8 ha; females: 37.0 AE 22.2 ha) and population densities moderately high (4.7-5.8 adults km À2 ) by comparison with previous studies of rural populations. We conclude that although stone martens are clearly well adapted to urban conditions, urbanization has surprisingly little impact on their socio-spatial organization by comparison with its effects on other mesocarnivores. This apparent inflexibility in the spacing patterns of stone martens lends support to the view that spacing in martens (Martes spp.) is a predominantly phylogenetic trait that is under limited environmental influence.

Den preferences and denning behaviour in urban stone martens (Martes foina)

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Stone martens (Martes foina) occur in urban environments in many parts of continental Europe, where they cause a nuisance by denning in inhabited houses. We radio tracked 13 stone martens (10 females, 3 males) in two towns in southern Luxembourg during a 2-year period, in order to investigate den preferences and patterns of den use. We predicted that urban martens would make more use of buildings and less use of natural den sites than do their rural counterparts. All martens used multiple den sites but use was concentrated on a subset of these, between which individuals shifted frequently. Denning was almost exclusively in buildings (97.1%), with use of inhabited buildings being the highest (41.9%) recorded to date for this species. Inhabited buildings were used more extensively in winter, presumably because they were warmer and better insulated. We conclude that stone martens can successfully adapt their denning behaviour to an urban environment and that they use anthropogenic den sites more often than do most other mesocarnivore urban adapters.
