Combining DNA and fossil evidence to understand how pine martens evolved through the Ice Age

The Pleistocene Epoch, often called the Ice Age, was a dynamic time of fluctuating environmental conditions, but understanding exactly how animals evolved throughout this time can be challenging. New research by Dr. Leigha Lynch brings together DNA and fossil data to re-assess what scientists know about the evolution of North American pine martens.
