Exciting news! Not only are the fisher populations in Western Canada genetically distinct, but so are their morphology and diet. Read the 2nd @MartesGroup article from the Special Issue in @StacksJournal. stacksjournal.org/article/we…
Happy #InternationalForestDay Many martes species live and need forests to survive, from fishers in America to tyra in Brazil. Trees play a vital role in species survival including us humans. Image Fisher - Copyright Adam Mortensen.

Many #Carnivore populations are declining and #translocations can help.
But how do we determine where to reintroduce them?
New research on pine #Martens from @MartesGroup provides a clear framework for answering this important question.

Excited to announce our second paper from the #RIFisherStudy is out! We found differences in fisher activity intensity related to relative road density in their HR. Fisher are doing some interesting things in RI! @science_action
