Understanding how animals interact with their surrounding environment is an essential part of conservation. This is particularly true in modern systems, where climate change and land-use change can alter the structure, connectivity, and conditions of the landscapes that animals inhabit. During this seminar, Marie will discuss how seasonality, forest structure, and changing landscape conditions can affect the behavior and ecology of a small forest carnivore, the Pacific marten, and what these changes might mean for similar species. Marie Martin is an ecologist interested in the physiology, movement, and behavior of wildlife, with a particular focus on species of conservation concern. Currently, she works for the Institute for Natural Resources in Portland, OR where she studies the ecology of mammalian communities and their responses to changes in land-use, climate, and wildfire regimes in the western United States. When Marie isn’t working on the computer or collecting data in the field, she enjoys birding, biking, knitting, and hanging out with her partner and their two dogs.
