The Evolution, Function, and Meaning of Marmot Alarm Communication

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the evolution, function, and meaning of marmot alarm communication. Alarm calls are a system in which one can study dynamics altruism. Calls contain potentially referential information about specific type predator degree risk that caller faces while calling. Moreover, alarm‐calling systems may offer some unique insights into adaptive significance individuality. The focuses on communication; marmots obtain other acoustically. Many species respond to sounds their predators make. A phylogenetic reconstruction ability sound predicts yellow‐bellied should predators. Recent experiment suggests have an innate locally extinct Future work focus acoustic cues use, enable them novel
