GENUS Martes
Author: | Pinel, 1792. | Citation: | Actes Soc. Hist. Nat. Paris, 1: 55. | Type Species: | Martes domestica Pinel, 1792 (= Mustela foina Erxleben, 1777). | Comments: | Stone and Cook’s (2002) cytochrome b data suggested that the recognition of Martes as here understood (to the exclusion of Gulo) would make the genus paraphyletic. |
