Using occupancy and population models to assess habitat conservation opportunities for an isolated carnivore population

2011-02-01

Abstract excerpt

An isolated population of the fisher (Martes pennanti) in the southern Sierra Nevada, California, is threatened by small size and habitat alteration from wildfires, fuels management, and other factors. We assessed the populationâs status and conservation options for its habitat using a spatially explicit population model coupled with a fisher probability of occurrence model. The fisher occurrence model was selec...
