Winter habitat use of American martens Martes americana within second‐growth forest in Ontario, Canada
A combination of discriminant function analysis and multiple regression was used to develop a linear model of American marten Martes americana winter habitat use within second‐growth boreal forest in northeastern Ontario, Canada. Four structural variables significantly discriminated between sites th...
