“…Although marten population densities in release areas within the Nicolet are thought to be increasing (John Wright, personal communication), the rate of range expansion has been <13 km per decade. Similar rates (8-16 km per decade) have been reported for marten refugia in Ontario (de Vos, 1951).…”

This paper describes the development and application of a spatially explicit, individual based model of animal dispersal (J-walk) to determine the relative effects of landscape heterogeneity, prey availability, predation risk, and the energy requirements and behavior of dispersing organisms on dispersal success. Significant unknowns exist for the simulation of complex movement behavior within heterogeneous landscapes. Therefore, initial simulations with J-walk examined the relative effect of landscape patterns and species-specific characteristics on dispersal success. Differences in landscape pattern were simulated by random generation of fractal maps with average available energy (i.e. prey) and predation risk expressed as a function of habitat type. Variation in species-specific patterns were then simulated by a series of scenarios that varied the response of dispersing individuals to habitat heterogeneity, including: habitat selection to maximize energy intake, habitat selection to minimize predation risk, or habitat selection contingent on energy reserves. Results showed that significant shifts in dispersal could be related to (1) the unique spatial arrangement of habitat within each map, (2) changes in relative prey abundance, and (3) variation in the relationship between energy availability and predation risk. Hypothetical management scenarios were used to identify critical data needed to assure the persistence of reintroduced populations of American martens (Martes americana).

Maser, Chris, Bruce R. Mate, Jerry F. Franklin, and C. T. Dyrness. 1981 The book presents detailed information on the biology, habitats, and life histories of the 96 species of mammals of the Oregon coast. Soils, geology, and vegetation are described and related to wildlife habitats for the 65 terrestrial and 31 marine species. The book is not simply an identification guide to the Oregon coast mammals but is a dynamic portrayal of their habits and habitats. Life histories are based on fieldwork and available literature. An extensive bibliography is included. Personal anecdotes of the authors provide entertaining reading. The book should be of use to students, educators, land-use planners, resource managers, wildlife biologists, and naturalists.Keywords: Natural history, mammals (marine), mammals (land), Oregon coast, wildlife habitat. ForewordIt is a privilege to write a foreword to Natural Hisfory of Oregon Coast Mammals. I have observed the production of this book since its inception and believe it has two qualities that especially recommend it: First, it is timely, attuned to the almost indescribable sense of frustrated urgency that environmental matters must be dealt with by a mixture of wisdom, information, and common sense that seems impossible to obtain. Second, this book is one of authority, by writers who are able to give the best and most accurate accounting of the ecosystems that make up the coastal region of Oregon. It can be looked on as a model for similar treatises, and in fact it contains much information that is applicable to other areas. Allow me to expand briefly on these two points.We are living in a schizophrenic time: There is need for wise use of our resources and there is the companion need for sensible conservation. As residents of the Pacific Northwest, a phenomenally satisfying part of the world, we see the requirement and the push to provide an ever-better life for more and more people. This may be called the "Development Syndrome." It is well known and self explanatory.At the same time we know the extreme preciousness of naturalness and nature, called by many terms and related to inner feelings. This may be termed simply and best as the "Concern for Nature Syndrome." This syndrome is difficult to describe for it is different in each person. It embodies emotional requirements of feelings and perceptions. It combines remembrances with objective appraisals and hopes for the future. It is concerned with a basic need for stability in a changing world, for places that are changeless from childhood memories through present experiences into plans for the future.As many writers have compellingly stated, wilderness (or varieties of wilderness as perceived by the individual) is the symbolic evidence of the concern for nature. We, each of us, have our own needs and our own interpretations, stated or not, as to how these needs may be manifested and fulfilled. Theodore Roosevelt wrote iii (Hunting Trips of a Ranchman, Century, 1885): "In the after years there shall come forever the memory ...
