AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
The Humboldt marten, Martes americana humboldtensis, has undergone a dramatic decline throughout its historical distribution in coastal Northwestern California. There is currently only one known population occupying an area occurring in <5 % of the historical distribution of the subspecies. Conse...
