Martens Peak [SEP] continent
Martens Peak
Martens Peak () is a rock peak in the northeastern part of the Ford Nunataks, in the Wisconsin Range of the Horlick Mountains, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Edward A. Martens, a radioman with the winter party at Byrd Station in 1960 and at McMurdo Station in 1965.
the range of nest predators is more extensive in North America than in Eurasia, in the latter continent most recorded nest depredations are by eagle owls, with martens and corvids usually only preying on goshawk nestlings when low food supplies cause the goshawks to have lower nest attendance (and presumably effect these predators to the extent that they take the risk of coming to the goshawk nest). Fledgling goshawks are also vulnerable to canids such as coyotes ("Canis latrans"), gray wolves ("Canis lupus") and red foxes
