Stacks Journal

Did you see the new research in @StacksJournal from the @MartesGroup that found 10 of 11 Guloninae species (weasels, martens, wolverines, etc.) are threatened by climate change? doi.org/10.60102/stack…

Did you see the new research in @stacksjournal from @MartesGroup that revealed pine martens & sables in Siberia may be hybridizing more often than we thought? Using microsatellites, researchers found that nearly 20% of individuals were actually hybrids. doi.org/10.60102/stack…

✨ Did you know @StacksJournal partners with organizations to create collaborative & engaging Special Issues? They’re an affordable and #OpenAccess way to share your community’s research — & we just partnered with 2 more orgs to put some together! stacksjournal.org/special-issues

New research experiments with a low-cost way to monitor den-box use by martens & fishers – temperature loggers By analyzing the rate of temperature change, researchers identified every fisher & marten den visit—and even distinguished the two species! doi.org/10.60102/stack…

You can read the full article in @stacksjournal at the link below. It's one of the latest articles from @MartesGroup's Special Issue. It’s #OpenAccess and went through our new model of peer review that is ethical and transparent. 🧪🦊🌍 🔗 doi.org/10.60102/stack…

But there’s hope! Successful mitigation strategies include: ⇶ Landscape-scale forest connectivity 🌳 Climate-aligned reforestation 🦊 Better integration of wildlife into carbon policies

The pine marten, fisher, wolverine, & similar species are facing more than habitat loss — they also occupy environments threatened by climate change. New peer-reviewed research in @stacksjournal assesses the future of the Guloninae across the globe. The outlook is rough. A 🧵

📣 Just published: Three new articles in the Special Issue from @MartesGroup. With contributions from leading researchers across Europe, Asia, and North America, this is quickly becoming a comprehensive & important collection. #Martes #Ecology stacksjournal.org/martes-special…

This new technique could be really helpful for other non-invasive monitoring because it is: 💰 Cost-effective: Only one temperature logger needed 🦊 Efficient: Detects when animals are inside, not just nearby 📈 Scalable: Automatable—ideal for long-term monitoring 4/

💡 What if monitoring wildlife was automatic and could even differentiate among species? New research in @StacksJournal shows a novel idea: using the rate of temperature change in den boxes to track martens, fishers, and even sometimes squirrels. A 🧵 #WildlifeConservation

Why does this matter? Because how we define species has real consequences and can lead to: 🧩 Misidentification 📉 Misguided conservation 🧪 Missed ecological complexity This work deepens our understanding of interspecies gene flow in wild mustelids. 4/

Do you think you can always tell a sable from a pine marten just by looking at it? 👀 In the Ural forests, it may be harder than you think. New research reveals how genetic tools can uncover surprising levels of hybridization in the wild. 🧬🦊🌍🧪 A🧵
