| Abstract: | One skin and 38 skulls of martens from Ibiza have been studied. The results confirm the specific identity of these martens as Martes foina (Erxleben, 1777). On average, Ibiza Stone Martens are smaller than the European ones, with the exception of some teeth easurements. There is a sexual dimorphism in size, males being bigger than females. Craniometrically, Ibiza martens seem to be similar to those from Crete Greece, Crimea USSR and the Middle East. The species has probably become extinct in the island within the last fifteen years. |
