The University of New Hampshire has conducted a study documenting the dispersal of a young female fisher (Pekania pennanti) over a distance of 118 kilometers.
This movement, which spans from Durham to the outskirts of Lincoln, New Hampshire, underscores the species' capacity for long-distance travel.
Understanding such dispersal patterns is crucial for wildlife management and conservation strategies, particularly in assessing habitat connectivity and species resilience.
