Carnivore Contact: A Species Fracture Zone Delineated Amongst Genetically Structured North American Marten Populations ( and ).

North American martens are forest dependent, influenced by human activity, and climate vulnerable. They have long been managed and harvested throughout their range as the American marten (). Recent work has expanded evidence for the original description of two species in North America - and the Pacific Coast marten, - but the geographic boundary between these groups has not been described in detail.

Winter bait stations as a multispecies survey tool.

Winter bait stations are becoming a commonly used technique for multispecies inventory and monitoring but a technical evaluation of their effectiveness is lacking. Bait stations have three components: carcass attractant, remote camera, and hair snare. Our 22,975 km mountainous study area was stratified with a 5 × 5 km sampling grid centered on northern Idaho and including portions of Washington, Montana, and British Columbia.

Benefits of categorization training in patients with traumatic brain injury during post-acute rehabilitation: additional evidence from a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Preliminary research with the Categorization Program (CP) indicated that this therapeutic modality is beneficial in improving cognitive abilities in survivors of moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study provides additional evidence for the use of the CP in postacute TBI cognitive rehabilitation.

Methods: Twenty-one participants in the experimental group received the CP training, and 14 participants in the control group received the conventional treatment used at their rehabilitation center.
