Abstract
The pine marten (Martes martes) occurs in large forests in most of Denmark.
Although the species has been strictly protected since 1934 it is
still one of the rarest mammals in the country. The Danish Society for
Nature Conservation initiated ‘Project pine marten' to increase our
knowledge of the ecology of the species in Danish cultivated landscapes.
This report presents the results of new investigations in demographic
parameters, diet and population genetics of Danish pine martens based
on analyses of carcasses collected nationwide in the period 1992-2006
and skulls from older specimens from the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen
and Natural History Museum, Aarhus. Furthermore, home range
size and habitat use was studied by radio telemetry.
