Influence of Landscape Pattern on Habitat Use by American Marten in an Industrial Forest

Home range and habitat use by the sable Martes zibellina brachyura in a Japanese cool‐temperate mixed forest

“…The coexistence of residents and transients has been reported in pine marten (Chapin et al 1997) and American marten (Paragi et al 1996;Chapin et al 1998) as well as the sable in the present study. Although these two types of life style have been found in both sexes, females are more transient than males (Phillips et al 1998), probably since females may be limited in habitat choice because of denning requirements (Wynne and Sherburne 1984), or more specific prey requirements than males (Holmes and Powell 1994), and thus may be forced to abandon a home Fig.…”

Influence of forest planning alternatives on landscape pattern and ecosystem processes in northern Wisconsin, USA

“…American marten favor the most structurally complex forest types available, which typically are the oldest ones (Bissonette et al, 1997;Chapin et al, 1998;Forsey and Baggs, 2001). Martens in northern Wisconsin occur most frequently in areas that contain large blocks of contiguous late successional northern hardwood forests (Dumyahn et al, 2008;Gilbert et al, 1997;Wright, 1999).…”

The influence of local habitat and landscape composition on cavity-nesting birds in a forested mosaic

“…Sites that are appropriate at the stand level could remain unoccupied if the area of suitable habitat is not extensive enough to contain an entire home range. Such area-demanding species simply may not be able to combine scattered resource patches into a home range (McIntyre, 1995;Chapin et al, 1998).…”

“…Landscape structure may specifically affect intra-and interspecific interactions, the complementation or supplementation of resources, and movement patterns of organisms (Dunning et al, 1992;McGarigal and McComb, 1995). Landscape structure also influences whether organisms can fit their territories in preferred habitat (Chapin et al, 1998).…”
