Keywords: ACOUSTIC ADAPTATION HYPOTHESIS, ALARM CALLS, COMMUNICATION, MARMOT, MARMOTA FLAVIVENTRIS, RMBL

Abstract

The evidence did not support the acoustic adaptation hypothesis for these marmot species, and factors other than maximizing long-distance transmission through the environment may be important in the evolution of species-specific marmot alarm calls.
