		<description><![CDATA[Estimating Trend in Occupancy for the Southern Sierra Fisher Martes pennanti Population
Carnivores are important elements of biodiversity, not only because of their role in transferring energy and nutrients, but also because they influence the structure of the communities where they occur. The fisher Martes pennanti is a mammalian carnivore that is associated with late-successional mixed forests in the Sierra Nevada in California, and is vulnerable to the effects of forest management. As a......<br clear="all">]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short-term effects of fuel treatments on fisher habitat in the Sierra Nevada, California.
The characteristics of western forests have changed as a result of fire suppression and fuel reduction treatments have become a public land management priority. The effects of these treatments on wildlife habitat, however, have received limited attention. The fisher (Martes pennanti) is a species of concern in California and is vulnerable to fuels treatments due to its association with dense forests and......<br clear="all">]]></description>
