| accuracy in molecular sexing of martens (martes americana and martes caurina) varies among sample types. | we evaluated the accuracy of sex identification using the sry marker for american marten (martes americana) and pacific marten (martes caurina) using samples collected from commercial trappers and those obtained via noninvasive sampling. we determined that sex identification from lut-sry primers is accurate at >90% for muscle and hair samples collected noninvasively. we found much lower accuracy when using hair samples plucked from trapper-killed carcasses, errors presumably incurred from contam ... | 2010 | 21565111 |
| examining the uncertain origin and management role of martens on prince of wales island, alaska. | conservation biologists are generally united in efforts to curtail the spread of non-native species globally. however, the colonization history of a species is not always certain, and whether a species is considered non-native or native depends on the conservation benchmark. such ambiguities have led to inconsistent management. within the tongass national forest of alaska, the status of american marten (martes americana) on the largest, most biologically diverse and deforested island, prince of ... | 2015 | 25855043 |
| ketamine and midazolam anesthesia in pacific martens (martes caurina). | abstract the use of midazolam as a tranquilizer for anesthesia in mustelids in conjunction with the cyclohexamine ketamine is not well documented. because midazolam is fast acting, inexpensive, and quickly metabolized, it may serve as a good alternative to other more commonly used tranquilizers. we trapped and anesthetized 27 pacific martens (martes caurina) in lassen national forest (northern california, us) august 2010-april 2013. we assessed anesthesia with ketamine at 18 and 25 mg/kg combine ... | 2015 | 25380359 |
| the importance of data quality for generating reliable distribution models for rare, elusive, and cryptic species. | the availability of spatially referenced environmental data and species occurrence records in online databases enable practitioners to easily generate species distribution models (sdms) for a broad array of taxa. such databases often include occurrence records of unknown reliability, yet little information is available on the influence of data quality on sdms generated for rare, elusive, and cryptic species that are prone to misidentification in the field. we investigated this question for the f ... | 2017 | 28640819 |
