Abundance Notes
Marten occur regularly in suitable forests of YNP, but even in good habitat they are not likely to be seen "daily," so they cannot be classified as common by the NPSpecies definitions. Moreover, home range size usually averages somewhat under 10 sq km, larger if resources are sparse (NatureServe 2005), so densities in the park are likely to better fit the "uncommon" category.; Data Source: Doug Keinath-Lead Zoologist-Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
