Scott live trapped, radio collared, and radio tracked 32 American marten (Martes americana) during 3 summer/fall seasons (1994 96) in the Cabinet Mountains of northern Idaho.

His objectives were to:

1) evaluate habitat selection at the home range within study area, location within home range, and location within stand (micro habitat) spatial scales,
2) gain a better understanding of marten population characteristics, and
3) examine community interactions (especially with regard to prey species).

A full discussion of his research can be found in his thesis in the Mansfield Library at The University of Montana. He is currently modifying a manuscript for submission.

Scott's research was funded by Idaho Department of Fish and Game. He is currently a wildlife biologist for the Forest Service in Seely Lake, Montana.
