Winter habitat selection by Canada lynx in Maine: prey abundance or accessibility?
Article Abstract:
Lynx selects stands with the greatest snowshoe hare densities or the greatest prey accessibility is evaluated. Results concluded that lynx selects stands, which provide intermediate to high hare density and intermediate cover for hares as well as forest harvesting has the potential to create favorable conditions for hares and lynx.

Influence of partial timber harvesting on American martens in north-central Maine
Article Abstract:
The habitat selection and home range characteristics of American martens that occupied home ranges with partially harvested stands characterized by basal areas of trees and canopy is investigated. The thresholds are evaluated by studying habitat selection, seasonal home-range areas, and prey use by martens.

Habitat selection by American martens in coastal California
Article Abstract:
The habitat selection by the only known population of American martens remaining in their historical range of the Humboldt subspecies in the coastal northwester California is investigated. The dense extensive shrubs have made most suitable habitats for martens in coastal forests.
