Social Behavior and Population Dynamics of Marmots
This table contains 37 years of demographic data for 12 sites. The trap record for each animal for each year the animal was present includes age, sex, locality, and reproductive status. Also included, when known, are changes in location, fate (predation death, dispersed), and genetic information (al

Resource allocation: exploring connections between foraging and life history strategies
Foraging determines an organism's intake of resources (water, nutrients or energy), while life-history patterns (survival, reproduction, growth) result from resource expenditure on fitness-related activities. Allocation of a limited resource pool among competing life-history traits links foraging an
Factors affecting oxygen consumption in wild-caught yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris)
It is suggested that basal metabolic rate is not an appropriate measure of the metabolic activity of free-ranging animals because basal metabolism is a stage on a food-deprivation curve.
