David Mandell ‘24 (New England, MS in Environmental Studies) and Michael Akresh, PhD, Core Faculty in the Environmental Studies program, recently co-authored a research paper titled “American Marten Habitat Suitability in the Northeastern United States,” published in Northeastern Naturalist. The research examines potential habitats for American martens, a forest-dwelling mammal whose range has declined dramatically due to exploitation, habitat loss, and climate change. The researchers identified suitable habitat across portions of the species’ former range, including Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and West Virginia. However, many of these areas are isolated from existing marten populations, making natural recolonization difficult. Their findings could help inform future conservation efforts, including reintroduction programs, improved habitat connectivity, and forest management strategies.
