The scienti?c underpinnings for conservation efforts designed to maintain and enhance Martes populations are well articulated. Although many chapters are genus speci?c, several chapters e.g., sampling and modeling techniques, climate change impacts are relevant to a wider range of taxa. As such, this book will appeal to mammalogists, ?eld biologists, conservation biologists, and policy makers working to understand and conserve Martes and other mammalian populations worldwide.\"–Sean M. Mathews, Journal of Mammalogy, 952:434–436, 2014\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis synthetic, contemporary volume provides a broad range of knowledge about the genus Martes.... The 20 chapters, clearly written by experts, provide a good balance of topics, such as phylogenetics, physiological ecology, habitat selection, and wildlife management. The foundational knowledge enables readers to understand each chapter even if they are not experts in a particular topic; however, the content is detailed enough to be valuable to professionals. This makes the volume excellent for undergraduates.... It will be a classic reference work, important to biologists and managers and integral to academic shelves. Summing Up: Highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e (Choice) \u003cp\u003eThis volume will be an essential resource for mammalogists, resource managers, and applied ecologists involved in research or conservation of martens, sables, and fishers....
