Martens are large weasels. As I recall, they're one of the few things that habitually eats porcupines, and they've been expanding their range into the southern parts of New England.

No, they are in the weasel family. Rodents are a major food source for them.

Fishers eat porcupines and are also members of the weasel family and are closely related but larger than martins.
