9 High Catfood High Chicken-Gusto Low Catfood Low Chicken-Gusto

10 22 Marten Sample Units in OR! - 26 Jan 10 Apr, 04 Jul 30Aug camera locations sample units - ~45 sets/study area - >154,000 images - > 3,000 marten images/video

11 Chicken, Low Height, No Predator Effect

12 Chicken, Low Height, No Predator Effect

13 Chicken, Low Height, No Predator Effect Average detection probability increased 7-16% with chicken over catfood sets

14 Chicken, Low Height, No Predator Effect Low

15 Statistical survey-level detection probability High Low High Low

16 Detections When Present? Microsite? OR Camera Marten Sample Units Naïve Occ Offset Detections Percent Offset Winter % Summer %

17 131 scats from the scat dog team - Surveyed 22 grids, paired cam detection km traveled (minimum), 1 scat/5km presumed, 58 verified marten scats - 15 bobcat scats

22 Marten Distribution in Coastal Oregon Katie Moriarty Sharon Smythe John D. Bailey Jake Verschuyl

23 4 Stations/Sample Unit, ~6km Apart + Trail cam Truex et al. 2013

24 2015 Oregon Surveys: 393 stations (98 units) 6 crews January to Oct 2015: 3 OSU teams, Hancock, Plum Creek, ODF

25 Overall Oregon Surveys: 944 stations (428 units) 2 Locations Distribution 24 Locations total Moriarty et al

26 Moriarty et al. (2016) NW Naturalist 97: populations persisted - No new populations - Future research: finer scale surveys, habitat conditions, evaluate threats

27 Conclusions from stations surveyed - 6 crews (OSU, Weyerhaeuser, ODF, Hancock) - 8 OSU students - 28 total marten identified - 2 populations - Multiple survey methods increase confidence - Gaps in distribution and understanding
