A test of the multipredator hypothesis: yellow-bellied marmots respond fearfully to the sight of novel and extinct predators

Authors: Blumstein, D. T.ORCID; Ferando, E.; Stankowich, T.
Year: 2009
Journal: Animal Behaviour, pp. 6

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2009.07.010
Keywords: MARMOTA FLAVIVENTRIS, MULTIPREDATOR HYPOTHESIS, PREDATION RISK, RELAXED SELECTION, YELLOW-BELLIED MARMOT

Abstract

Visual predator discrimination for ontogenetically and evolutionarily novel predators may be maintained in yellow-bellied marmots by extant predation risk by the multipredator hypothesis.
