The evolution, function, and meaning of marmot alarm communication
Abstract
This chapter discusses the evolution, function, and meaning of marmot alarm communication, a system in which one can study the dynamics of altruism and the specific acoustic cues that marmots use, which enable them to respond to novel predators.
